The River Park PTGO is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation that supports the community of River Park Elementary School in Hillsborough, NC. Advocating for all RPES students is our top priority! In addition, we hold fundraisers to provide enrichment materials for our students and staff.
We help fund programs and activities not otherwise covered by the public school budget.

Upcoming Events, Sign Ups, & Volunteer Opportunities:

The River Park PTGO is offering another fundraiser with Painted Grape this month. You can purchase a festive ornament kit which includes the ornament, paint and paint brushes for $12 per ornament.  RPES PTGO gets a portion of the proceeds for each ornament sold.  These would make great gifts for relatives and is a fun activity to do during break.   Order by December 16 at 9am and the ornament kits will be delivered to the classrooms on December 19. ORDER HERE! 
This holiday season, the PTGO is treating our teachers to a wonderful catered lunch on December 16. Please check out volunteer tracker to sign up for a time to cover a teacher’s class to give them time to enjoy their lunch. Please reach out to amanda.boleratz@orange.k12.nc.us with any questions.

Help us spread Holiday Cheer amongst the teachers and staff at River Park with a decadent holiday dessert bar! The River Park PTGO is hosting a dessert bar for teachers and staff on Friday, December 20th. Please sign up for a dessert item and bring it to school the morning of Friday, December 20th. We will have PTGO members collecting all items during the morning car line! If you’d like to donate an item but do not use the car line for transportation, just let us know in the sign up comments so we can know to look for items from a bus rider or coordinate pick up in another way! **Store bought, pre-made items are preferred!** Please make sure to label any dishes you’d like back with your child’s name and teacher and we will get them returned to you! Thank you so much for your help in showing the awesome teachers and staff at River Park appreciation in this way! SIGN UP FOR A DESSERT BAR ITEM HERE

The PTGO is forming planning committees for our FIRST EVER Color Run to be held in the Spring as well as our Spring Auction. 

About the Color Run: We are so excited to announce that River Park PTGO is hosting our First Ever Color Run this Spring! At this point the Color Run is only an idea so we need a committee of 5-10 parents who can help this event come to life! We know this has so much potential to be an exciting community fundraiser so we’d like to go ahead and get the committee formed ASAP. If you love running or River Park or colors – this is for you!

About the Spring Auction: Our annual Spring Auction is typically held in April. We’d love to get a head start on finding fun and valuable auction items to include along with the coveted “teacher experiences.” We’d like to form a team of 5-10 parents to begin reaching out to local businesses or sports teams to generate donated auction items. If you have connections or are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please consider joining!
