Riverdale White Party Benefit is Pure Fun

Portland, September 29th. Taking a page from P Diddy’s playbook, parents and community members converged on the newly-build home of Sheila Hamilton and Colin Maclean to raise money for their students. (Photo credit, Brian Black) The Riverdale School District Parent Teacher Club helped organize the party and white attire was a must. Host families included: The Cains, Cohens, Fords, Hinsvark/Hillmans, Millers, and Moone/Scotts.

Riverdale’s first annual White Party 2012 benefited from the terrific fall weather.

Organizers are hoping to recreate the magic again next year.

The Riverdale School District serves over 600 families living in a residential, wooded area seven miles south of downtown Portland, Oregon and adjacent to the city of Lake Oswego. Both Riverdale Grade School and Riverdale High School are accepting applications for the 2012-2013 school year on a rolling basis.
