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.

We met together as a full student body to end our last day together for 2025-2026. We honored some students as Top Dawgs for their efforts in perseverance and integrity. Those were our character themes for April and May. We also honored Levi S who was our lone student with perfect attendance.
We had a special guest appearance from school board president JT Oltman, who delivered a great message to launch us all into summer! Thanks JT!

Congrats to our Top Dawgs listed below, and thanks to everybody for a great school year!
