It your chance to express your opinion!

Hello dear readers. Lest you think we aren't doing anything to further the plan for RiverTree opening Fall 2009, I thought I better write a post. One reason you haven't heard a lot from us is that we are still spending every moment we can pursuing a location for RTS. More on that later from Rodney. Much of our search is calling, waiting, wondering, learning patience and trust. All are valuable things, just not good blog posts.

But wait, I do have something to report, and am hoping for your feedback. RiverTree will be a school with a uniform. The details will be coming out in the future, but I'm working on the specifics of color, plaid etc. That's where I'd enjoy your input. There are many uniform companies, but I'm a fan of natural fabrics. I believe children are more comfortable in cotton clothing and other natural fabrics. Many of the uniform companies use a lot of synthetic fabrics which I plan on avoiding for RiverTree. My favorite place for uniforms so far is Land's End. It is basic; you can order it all online; and can take advantage of the Land's End Inlets here in the Twin Cities. If you have specific questions on the uniform, please be patient. I'll have that available shortly after our website is up and running. If you have questions as to why a uniform, please feel free to send me an email. I'd gladly converse about the benefits of a uniform.

If you care to express your opinion about colors of polo-type shirts and which plaid you prefer, follow these links to check out the options. Then come back to this article and leave your comments. Remember our colors are those seen in our logo. Our logo will also be on some of the clothing. I already have a few preferences on the tartans, but nothing set in stone. I'd enjoy hearing your opinion!

Sign Up for our Mailing List

Would you like to be added to our mailing list?  Through the "magic" of Google Forms, you can!

If you signed up with us in Rogers on Jan 6th, or if you have sent me an email asking about RiverTree, you are probably already on the list.  However, just to be sure, you can sign up again.

Informational Meetings

As part of our plan to get the word out about RiverTree, Marybeth and I would like to have a series of informational meetings for interested families.  If you would be willing to host such a meeting in your home, please let us know.   Ideally, a family would invite a few of their freinds who might also be interested, but if you would rather have us put the invite list together, we can do that too.

January 6th at the Rogers Community Center

We will be at the Rogers Community Center in Rogers, MN on Tuesday, January 6th from 5:30 to 8:00 PM for the Preschool and Early Childhood Open House. It will be an opportunity to talk to both Rodney and Marybeth about RiverTree School, the Charlotte Mason method and whatever else you may want to discuss. Details on the event can be found here. Children are welcome.
