It’s almost time for the 2026 Riverside Harvest Hustle! Our annual PTO fundraiser and fun run is back, and we’re excited to get our Falcons registered and ready to go!

The Riverside Harvest Hustle will be on Thursday, October 8th from 9:30-12:30pm. This is a fun student- led fundraiser for our school! The day of the “race” students will run around the path in the field with their grade for 20 minutes. The reason the Riverside Harvest Hustle is important is that it’s a combination of raising money for educational support at Riverside AND it’s a school/community event. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and parents are encouraged to come to school during the event to cheer on and encourage their student(s). Staff and students are encouraged to head outside and cheer on and support buddies/friends/other students.

This year, the Riverside PTO has a school-wide fundraising goal of $20,000 to continue supporting the programs, resources, and experiences that benefit all Riverside students...including classroom and teacher funds, STEM, music, field trips, special student experiences, and more. We’re also excited to support outdoor improvements and the addition of an adaptive playground.

Visit our Harvest Hustle Fundraising Website to register your student and create their personal fundraising page:

Registration is quick, easy, and free. Once your student is registered, you can personalize their page and share it with friends and family by text, email, or social media. Families with multiple Riverside students can also create a Family Webpage so donations are split evenly between siblings.

Share your fundraising link with friends and family to raise money for our PTO in which the funds go directly back to your kids and school community!

 Fundraising Dates: September 21–October 30
