We Reached Our Goal!
Thank you to all who donated! Be on the lookout for the announcement of recipients, scheduled for April 15.
We recently renamed our Scholarship Fund in honor of Tibby DeJulio.
This fund awards two annual college scholarships to students from Riverwood International Charter School who attended High Point Elementary or Ridgeview Middle School and are from Title One families. 100% of all contributions
go toward these scholarships.
We are currently at 100% of our goal of $6000!! Any new donations will go toward next year's recipients. Please consider helping a student from our neighborhood to realize their
college goals.

What is Happening on Roswell Road at the Belle Isle Intersection?
Georgia Department of Transporation (GaDOT) closed the lane at the intersection of Belle Isle and Roswell Road because the stormwater drains there are quickly overwhelmed during heavy rain. Resolving the flooding situation requires repairing the storm drain. GaDOT reports that the project to repair the storm drain is out to bid.
The City of Sandy Springs has been diligent about the follow-up on this issue and has requested that the lane be opened until the repair work is scheduled to begin or as
needed for flooding. We will keep you updated as we are!
