It's Homecoming Week! The RVSD Endowment Fund raises money year round to award grants to our teachers and classrooms. Buy your raffle tickets this week to support our mission.

Look at these prizes! Thank you to the generous businesses for their donations. You can buy your tickets before the volleyball game on Thursday night, at the School Fair on Friday morning, or at The Shed Garden following the parade on Friday afternoon. We've limited the number of tickets to sell to 365 to increase your chance of winning. Drawing will be held at halftime of the football game; need not be present to win. (Pro tip: bring return address labels if you don't want to fill out your tickets.)

Thank you for your support and GO, BLACKHAWKS!

What's the most Wisconsin way to say thank you? With cheese, of course! The River Valley School District Endowment Fund dropped off beautiful trays made by Arena Cheese, Inc. to help the teachers and staff power through these last days of the school year. Thank you for your dedication to our students, it is so appreciated!

The River Valley School District Endowment Fund (RVSDEF) is excited to invite all Blackhawk fans to a Homecoming celebration on Friday, September 30th. Following the Homecoming parade, join us at the Shed Garden for music, food and fun. Jefferson Street will remain closed between Lexington Street and the alley behind the Shed to allow attendees to safely spread out and move between the Shed Garden and Barron Brooks. RV alumnus and crowd favorite Janna Johnson will be on the stage with Steve Brown from 4 - 6 pm.

We are very happy to announce that this year there will be some delicious food options from some of our talented local chefs. Chef’s Hideout will be offering brisket dinners and sandwiches, Cajun shrimp dinners, and peach cobbler. Rocketman Pizza will have hot slices of cheese, pepperoni or sausage pizza in addition to some specialty pizzas. The Gard Theater will open early to sell popcorn, candy and pop, and Baron Brooks will have their grill fired up. The Shed will be serving drinks outside in the garden area.

Established in 2012, The RVSDEF has been sponsoring grants to support innovative ideas in the classroom. A display of some of these projects will be in the Shed Garden. Please stop by to see the exciting things happening in our school district, to buy 50/50 raffle tickets and make a donation to the fund to help make these creative ideas a reality.
