GA Mountain Food Drive

10/2/2024

Riverside Parents and Guardians,

We are thrilled to announce the commencement of the Georgia Mountain Food Drive from October 5^th to October 18^th. We couldn't be more excited to have Riverside Preparatory Academy once again participate in this incredibly impactful initiative. Your support of providing non-perishable canned food items in the past has been truly remarkable, and it is with immense gratitude that we recognize the outstanding effort of our Riverside community and parents. Your dedication and generosity have a profound impact on the lives of those in need, and we are eager to continue this tradition of giving back. As we embark on this year's food drive, we look forward to another successful campaign with your donations of canned foods.

If you would like to participate, please send non-perishable canned food items to campus with your student. You may also drop off canned food items at the loading dock (Attention: your son’s name and company).

Thank you for being an integral part of Riverside's commitment to making a positive difference in our community and for the boys. Let's work together to make this year's Georgia Mountain Food Drive even more successful and spread hope to those who rely on our help, especially as we approach this season of thanksgiving.

If you have any questions, please contact me via email at studentaffairs@riversidemilitary.com.

With warm regards,

Jamie Burkley M.Ed.

Director of Student Affairs.

RP Weekend Update

9/28/2024

Dear Parents and Guardians,

First and foremost, I trust that you and your family are safe and dry.

Other than a brief loss of power and internet, Riverside’s campus and the surrounding Gainesville area was very fortunate and received only minimal impact from Hurricane Helene. Our prayers are with those in the many other surrounding areas and states whose impact from the storm surge was significant, and in some instances, devastating.

Riverside Prep will resume a regular class schedule on Monday, September 30. Boarding students should return tomorrow, Sunday, by 7:00 pm, and Day students should return Monday morning by 8:15 am.

If you are unable to return your student by this time due to travel disruptions caused by the storm, please email your student’s Company TAC Officer so that he is prepared to receive late arrivals and/or track absences.

We look forward to having everyone back on campus. Stay safe.

Respectfully,

Robert “Britt” Daniel, J.D.

President

Off-Campus Worship

9/13/2024

Riverside families,

Please give your permission for your cadet to attend only one worship service each Sunday morning. We're having cadets signed up to attend both services which are held at the same time in two different places. This can create confusion for our TAC officers, cadets, and transportation drivers. Also, be sure that you and your cadet have mutually agreed that he will attend a worship service on Sunday morning. I know this seems like a simple request, but it will eliminate any disagreement with the cadets and their TAC officers.
