“Tristan’s Trees” a tree dedication memory event
June 9th at 6:00 Riverdale High School will celebrate the dedication of thirty indigenous trees which will be planted at Riverdale High School in late May.  The trees are a gift to Riverdale High School through the Grey to Green Grant. The dedication event will be a celebration of life for our former student Tristan S.  Among our guests will be Christine and Jerry S.  The Food for Thought Class will provide catering services. Everyone who would like to participate with us in the dedication of our trees and the celebration of Tristan’s life are welcome to join us.


Graduation Update
Graduation announcements have gone home this week, I noticed there are five orders in Sam’s office that require payment in order to be picked up. 
Caps and gowns are here and will be held until graduation.  Individuals have been contacted about late orders if one did not arrive for a student.

Tickets: Each graduate is allotted 8 tickets.  Sam will have the tickets available for pick up May 27th.  If you do not require all 8 tickets please inform Sam when you pick yours up.  If you hope for more than 8 tickets have Sam place your name and number of tickets on the wait list in order to possibly acquire the additional tickets.

I was one of the lucky ones that was able to experience the Student Cooking and Performance "Another Time Another Place" to benefit the Riverdale Foundation.  Riverdale's Food for Thought student chefs led by Santha Cassell, and the Bella Voci Choir directed by Michelle Horgen designed the evening.

My table dined on a Mediterranean Vegetarian Feast while others enjoyed Tex-Mex, Indian and Asian specialties.  The food was accompanied by the talents of the Bella Voci Choir and Riverdale student musicians  (Henry L, Collin S and his sister Gillian S).  Our own Dan Palma and Michelle Horgen set the mood while we dined on our appetizer.  In addition to the beautiful music and food, this event raised $1200.  If you want to experience the love:
