Wear Red & Rally for Riverside

The BET public hearing is Monday, March 25th at 7:00pm in the Meeting Room at Greenwich Town Hall. This is arguably the most important meeting to have the community present and speaking up in support of our school budget priorities.

 

As our community advocates for the proposed $150k feasibility study at Riverside we need you to attend (or speak at) this meeting, wearing RED for Riverside, to show the BET that we are paying attention and are passionate about the needs of our school building.

 

If you haven’t already done so, please also be sure to email the BET and First Selectman urging them to fund the $150k feasibility study at Riverside in FY25. See the March 7th email for more information.
