Riverhead: RCFA variety show and memorial badminton tourney

Faculty members and students of Riverhead Central School District presented their first-ever RCFA scholarship fundraiser variety show on Feb. 4. There wasn’t an empty seat in the auditorium. All did a fantastic job! Thanks go to Mr. Butterfield and Mr. Tholl, organizers; Dave Loddengaard, music and sound; Catherine Kent and Jerecua Nelson, set designers; Dawn Bozuhoski, program; Kathleen Horn, publicity; Beth Maccagli, tickets; Ryan McGill and Timothy Oliver, stage crew; Scott Bunin, Leslie Castello, Michael Dello Russo, Dylan Huber and Jonah Spaeth, lighting; and usher Paige Ruhf. It was a fun-filled evening of song, dance, poetry and so much more.

Riverhead High School’s Class of 2013 will host the first-ever John Mendreski Memorial student/teacher badminton tournament on Tuesday, March 1, from 3 to 6 p.m. in the high school gymnasium. Team participants will include one teacher from Riverhead High School or Riverhead Middle School. Entry fee is $100 for each team. All proceeds go to the class of 2013 and a scholarship fund in memory of John Mendreski, former principal of Pulaski Street Elementary School. John was a great principal and a good friend to many of us in the community. This fundraiser will award scholarships to Long Island students involved in scholastic rowing programs. Entry forms are due by Friday, Feb. 18, and can be picked up in the girls’ physical education office or in room 115 at the high school. Spectators are encouraged to cheer on their favorite teams. Admission is $1. For more information, call 369-6818.
