On International Literacy Day, we celebrate how reading and writing skills help our students connect with characters in books, communicate with classmates, and eventually contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Strong literacy foundations create confident communicators and engaged citizens. Literacy connects us all! 📚

We are so grateful to the Riverside Booster Club for purchasing a 3 year subscription to the Turf Tank, which allows us to get our lines painted on the field with Precision and Pride. Check out this video to see the process: https://youtu.be/juYUrLmaEyY #WeRRiverside

Students in 8th grade were investigating forces and what impacts the forces. #WeRRiverside

Students spent time learning how to write genuine and specific affirmations to their peers, and at the end of class, they shared out with their groups the positive affirmations that they had written for their group members!

Emma Gordon, Riverside Class of 2024, has been accepted into the University of Iowa’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography program on the cardiac and vascular track! 🌟

This rigorous program trains students to use ultrasound technology to examine the heart and blood vessels, while also building professional skills.

“I can’t wait to start this journey and work toward my goal of being a pediatric/fetal echo sonographer,” said Emma.

We are so proud of you, Emma! Congratulations!

Each Wednesday, high school advisories participate in Leadworthy lessons through Capturing Kids' Hearts. This month's theme is empathy. Check out the resource below for how you can grow and develop empathy with your students at home!

Our 8th grade students identified various story elements within a text and discussed their notes with their small groups. Great conversations by all!
