Other Reminders for the Week:

• We will supply your child with water; no need to send your children with water bottles.
• Send your child with sunscreen applied at home and wearing sturdy shoes - no flip flops - they will be running, dancing, and jumping!!!
• Be on the look out for our daily newsletter which will recap the day and communicate any important information during the week.
• Saturday 6/24, 5 p.m. Mass: All VBS attendees and volunteers are invited to attend this Mass! We will sing songs from the week and be together with the larger community to celebrate. It’s a great way to reinforce the faith and fun your children experienced through the week! 

We are super excited to announce our VBS 2023 Charity of the Week.  The Backpack Fund was founded right here in Lake County by several Riverside alumni with the vision and drive to make sure every student in our community has the supplies they need to be successful in school.  These are incredible young people doing good - and our support means the world to them.  
 
Please take a look at their website as well as this brief YouTube Video.   
Stay tuned for ways you can help this amazing local charity during VBS and beyond!!
