(Oakland, Iowa) – The Riverside Community School District is launching a PRIDE Capital Campaign collaborative effort between the District and the cities of Oakland, Carson and Macedonia. School officials say it will generate funding in support of positive experiences for current and future students, staff, alumni, and the community through the completion of identified infrastructure development projects.

This project, according to school officials, provides an opportunity to strengthen economic growth, increase existing social capital and provide infrastructure development that positively impacts all these cities and the school district. High quality educational opportunities and access to physical infrastructure play an important role in developing rural communities and helping them overcome their challenges. The project is designed to enhance existing community assets by encouraging growth by supporting new infrastructure projects. The campaign will generate funding to support positive school and community experiences for current and future students, staff, alumni, and community.

Superintendent Dr. Tim Mitchell says there are three Riverside Pride Capital Campaign Goals:

1) Maintenance of a safe and high-quality environment for academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities.

2) Completion of one-time facility improvements needed to promote growth and success in the community and school.

3) Lasting impact through a legacy of positive academic and economic growth for future generations of the Riverside communities.
