Lion's Pride Annual Campaign
Will You Go All In for All of Us?
Your Gifts in Action
The E. Rivers Education Foundation (EREF) has funded a Traffic Assistance Officer to help with traffic and street crossings in front of the school every morning. Since the addition of the extra officer, there has been a noticeable reduction in traffic and increase in student and family safety. This is just another one of the many great initiatives funded by EREF. Please consider contributing to the Foundation for the betterment of our school and all of our students. Donate Today.
Save the Date: We are excited to announce the return of the Lion's Pride Donor Party on Friday, November 12th at the home of Matthew and Keith Simon-Schumann for all donors to the Lion's Pride Annual Campaign. Details to follow.
Thank you to all the donors who have generously given to support our school. Please click here to see our Lion's Pride Honor Roll of donors for this year. If you have not already done so, please consider making a gift to the Lion's Pride Annual Campaign. Every gift makes a difference!
