Families investing in their children’s education is one of the most important parts of building a community where people want to live, raise their children, and thrive. But we also know that working, raising a family, and juggling school and everyday life is not always easy. Sometimes every family can use a little encouragement and a little step up.
That is what Neighbor by Neighbor is all about.
Our goal is simple: recognize families, encourage student success, increase parent involvement, and connect our local businesses and community with the families they serve.
This is just the first of many Neighbor by Neighbor Family Packs we will give throughout the year!
A very special thank you to NEXT Power for its $20,000 investment in Rivercrest families, and to the businesses, organizations, and individuals who are already joining us.
And there is room for EVERYONE to be a Neighbor. No donation is too small. A restaurant gift card, family meal, movie tickets, an oil change, home improvement gift card, family experience, event tickets, or financial contribution can all make a difference.
Want to help? Take a look at the flyer below to see how you can become part of Neighbor by Neighbor.
One student. One family. One neighbor at a time.
Parents and families, please be aware of a temporary change to our afternoon pick-up traffic pattern due to construction on campus.
📍 For today, August 13, and tomorrow, August 14:
We will have two designated entrances—one for HS/JRHS (Between JRHS and Baseball Fields) and one for Elementary (Regular Entrance and Exit).
Vehicles will follow a clockwise traffic pattern when entering campus.
Please follow the traffic flow and exit only at the designated exit locations.
