Empowering Young Minds:
The Shirley Glen Family Trust
River Valley School is profoundly grateful for the transformative $500,000 gift from the Shirley Glen Family Trust.
Shirley Glen—a cherished member of our school family, devoted grandmother, and passionate advocate for education—believed in the power of curiosity, kindness, and lifelong learning. Her unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering a love of discovery made a lasting impact on our community. In recognition of her incredible influence, we were proud to rename our reception hall Shirley Glen Hall in her honour, a daily reminder of her generosity and dedication.
This extraordinary gift is shaping the future of River Valley School, expanding innovative learning experiences, strengthening academic and personal growth, and fostering wonder in every child. We extend our deepest gratitude to Shirley and her family for ensuring her passion for education lives on in our community, inspiring both current and future generations.
We are truly grateful for the exceptional educational experience that River Valley School has provided for our child over the past 3 years. We believe Shirley would be delighted to support River Valley School, knowing what a rich learning environment it has provided. We trust this donation will contribute to strengthening the school, ensuring that more children will benefit in the future.
