Riceville Elementary

Mums have arrived and are ready for pick-up. Please proceed to the old baseball field on right as you enter Riceville Elementary. Someone will greet you and help you in getting your order. All mums must be picked up by 5:00 today. If at all possible, please try to pick them up before 2:45 as that would greatly help. Again, thank you to everyone for helping make our mum fundraiser a great success!!!

Riceville Wildcats- Mums will now be delivered on Tuesday, September 22. Pick-up will be available from 12:00-5:00. Thank you for your understanding!

Just a reminder, all mum and/or money donation forms are due on Monday, September 14th. Money for both is also due when you turn in the forms. We appreciate all those that helped support our school with this fundraiser!!!

Riceville families, correction….due to a truck delivery issue with the mum company, the mums will be delivered on Tuesday, September 23rd. You may pick up your mums between 12:00 and 5:00 on the baseball field just to your right once entering the school. We apologize for the inconvenience of this one day delay. Again, mums will need to be picked up on Tuesday…not Monday. Thank you!!!
