Last week our Riverdale staff and students came together to help a kindergarten student at Upper Sandusky Schools. Tanner was involved in an accident that he had lost his lower leg. We wanted to help the family in providing some financial support for them. The staff and students were welcomed to wear Hats for Tanner for a donation and we were able to give $543.08 to the family. The family was appreciative of the donation and support . We will continue to keep Tanner and his family in our thoughts.

Hope to see you there!
