Welcome, Fifth-Grade Families!

We’re looking forward to celebrating our children’s final year at Riverfield! The Fifth-Grade Committee is planning Grit & Wit Field Day, a graduation celebration, and a class gift to Riverfield. Fundraisers throughout the year will help make these experiences possible.

Want to get involved? Click here to sign up. We’d love your help when you’re able to give it, whether at an event or with a fundraiser. If you have an idea you’d like to lead, please reach out!

Fundraisers: We’re planning a variety of opportunities, including Krispy Kreme, craft nights, parent social, cupcakes by Sugar Bakery, sporting events, and more. Proceeds will first cover Grit & Wit for all fifth graders. Any additional funds will support the graduation party and class gift.

Grit & Wit Field Day

When: Date to be announced, most likely in May
Where: Sullivan Field
Time: Approximately 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Who: Fifth graders from Riverfield, Dwight, Mill Hill, and Sherman schools

Grit & Wit brings together students from the four schools that feed into Ludlow Middle School. Students will be mixed into teams, giving them a chance to meet future classmates and head into fall 2027 with a few more familiar faces.

The field course combines physical obstacles and puzzles, so every student can contribute.

Fifth-Grade Graduation Celebration

When: Thursday, June 3, 2027, at 6:00 p.m.
Where: Scandinavian Club, Fairfield
Who: Fifth-grade students and their parents (no siblings)
