The Riverside Community School District recently received a generous donation from Lisa and Monty Rollins to purchase new score tables for the district’s activities programs, honoring generations of family members with deep ties to Riverside schools and communities.
The donation was made in memory of Monty’s parents, Earl “Bunk” and Frances Rollins, and Lisa’s parents, Richard “Dick” Kates and Jo Kates. All four had strong connections to local schools, athletics, and community service.
