Riverdale High School Drama Presents their Winter Musical
Only 4 Shows!- Get your tickets now before they sell out!
“Urinetown. Is that really the title?”Urinetown is pretty much your typical musical. Boy meets girl, who happens to be big baddie’s daughter, they fall in love, lead revolution against evil oppressors and live happily ever after… oh wait. Wrong show. Urinetown is an earnest tale of love, greed, and revolution. The show is set in a town plagued by a 20-year drought, where water has become so scarce that private toilets have become unthinkable. At the mercy of a single dominating corporation who maintains a monopoly on the town’s public amenities, the destitute citizens must pay towering taxes and fines to carry out their most private and basic of needs. Out of the mass of the pitiable, a hero rises to lead his fellow citizens against the tyrannical regime. Drawing from West Side Story, Chicago, Pippin, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Misérables among others, the show irreverently pays witty homage to the great American musical theatre tradition. Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of America’s greatest art forms. January 30th at 7:00pm, January 31st at 7:00PM and February 2nd at 2:00pm and 7:00pm.Performances at the World Trade Center121 Salmon Street Portland, ORTo buy tickets: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=rivhs

Portland Knee ClinicGot Instruments?
If your child has stopped playing their instrument or you have an extra one, the grade school would LOVE it if you would consider donating it to the RGS music program. As some of you know, playing a musical instrument is mandatory in the 5/6 at RGS. PTC is trying to relieve the burden on some families by expanding the lending library. Your instrument does not need to be in pristine condition; RGS PTC will pay for repairs. Either give it to Sam to have transported to the grade school, or drop it off at the RGS front office. If you have any questions, please contact Molly Scholz at mscholz@riverdale.k12.or.us.

Auction Opens With 73 Past Patrons Signing Up Early!
We asked our past Auction Patrons if they wanted to extend their support another year and demonstrate early to the entire community their confidence in Riverdale and excitement about Auction. The vast majority of them said YES! Patron tickets are $250 instead of $125– thus helping to underwrite the costs of Auction so that the money we raise that night can go straight to enhancing the academics, arts and culture at Riverdale. Please join these generous families and sign uphere to buy Patron or Regular Tickets!

Thank you to all the families who made contributions to the Riverdale Foundation’s Annual Campaign! Our families have always stepped up to support our students, and this year was no exception. 68% of our families made contributions, and together, we raised $824,745 for our children’s education. What a wonderful accomplishment! Although the Fall campaign has officially wound down, if you would still like to contribute, you may do so at www.riverdalefoundation.org. It’s never too late!
