Riverside Community School District

This week's staff wellness challenge included students. Each team member was challenged with talking about the challenge with a group of students and then challenge them to a healthy habit, which included squats, meditation, push ups, healthy eating, etc. #WeRRiverside

26 Riverside students took 39 events to the District Individual Speech contest on Saturday, February 28th. 23 students are taking 32 events to the State contest in two weeks! Congratulations to all of the performers.
