SPRING CLEANING?

Please consider RECYCLING

The Riverfield Green Team wants you to know about an opportunity

to recycle unwanted textiles while fundraising for the PTA!

There is a textile recycling bin located in the Riverfield parking lot

(left side) just as you exit.

Items that are still in good condition will be donated and reused.
Items not good enough to donate, may still be dropped in the bin for recycling (think: stained clothes, worn out shoes, ripped linens & towels, even stuffed animals!)
Click here to see the many ways these items are repurposed
Please just be sure that all items are bagged securely.

Riverfield PTA earns $100 per ton of textiles collected!

You can see a full list of what is and what is not accepted here

For any questions please visit our Green Team Page

Save the date and book your babysitter!!

Open Executive Board Positions

Interested in joining the PTA Executive Board!?

The following positions are open beginning next school year.

Please email volunteer@riverfieldschoolpta.com if you are interested or for more information.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ALREADY EXPRESSED INTEREST,

WE DID NOT RECEIVE IT BECAUSE OF A TYPO

IN THE EMAIL ADDRESS AND WOULD ASK YOU TO RESUBMIT

YOUR INTEREST TO THE ADDRESS ABOVE.

THANK YOU!

President Elect: The president elect supports the President and the board in high level planning of programs and events. They should attend PTA meetings to get a feel for how the meetings are run, and start learning the ins and outs of the president role. If the president is unable to attend a meeting the president elect will fill in as the meeting leader. They attend, as available, monthly meetings with the president and school principal. Riverfield has great parental involvement, and that creates an environment where no one person has to do it all. (One year term with the expectation that the following year you will assume the role of PTA president.)
PTA Council Delegate: A great opportunity to be involved with the larger PTA council of Fairfield and share valuable information with the Riverfield community with a minimal time commitment. Responsibilities include: Attend monthly PTAC meetings (via zoom calls or in-person); and report back to Riverfield PTA about happenings within the larger PTA council; share valuable information/resources from PTAC. (one year term)
VP Membership: The membership role begins over the summer and the bulk of the work is finished by October. Role responsibilities include: getting the toolkit dashboard( our database system) “rolled over” to the next school year; coordinating with the PTA president to plan a flyer and membership drive dates; get email addresses from BOE prior to the first day of school; processing any paper membership application forms; monitoring online payments; working with office to sign up staff; ordering/distributing the change of dismissal notepads; provide monthly updates to the treasurer and PTA board. Throughout the year there is not a lot to do and just a few memberships trickle in. It’s mostly completed at home and over email so it’s a great position! (one year term).
