'Tis the Season
to Advocate for the Riverside Renovation
As the town’s budget process gets underway, and the renovation project gains momentum, engagement and advocacy from the school community will become increasingly important. In the coming months, elected officials will be making critical decisions that will determine the scope and timing of the renovation project.
Making sure these decisions align with our own priorities and needs is our responsibility as a community and can be achieved by using our voices to communicate what’s important to us. For additional information on how and when our community will come together to advocate for this project in the coming months, see the Renovation webpage.
