Ms. Trudy and Ms. Caiti took a group of 5th graders to fill luminaries for Carson Christmas. #WeRRiverside

Responsibility is the CKH Character Trait that we will focus on during the month of December with students during their weekly CKH lessons.

Why focus on Responsibility?
Responsibility teaches resilience. It is not possible to persevere and achieve our dreams without taking personal responsibility seriously.
Responsibility empowers us to own our actions. There is great power in being able to make conscious, calculated choices to reach goals and manage those things in our control.
Responsibility teaches us to manage our time and resources. Responsibly organizing and prioritizing needs is an executive function of the brain that improves with practice.

As our thankfulness campaign comes to a close, our hearts are full. ❤️🐾

We’re grateful for every member of our school family who gives their all each day. You make this a wonderful place to learn, grow, and belong! #WeRRiverside

The 6th, 7th, and 8th grade band and choirs had their winter performances tonight. They sounded amazing. Way to go, Mrs. Brandon and Ms. Schmitz. #WeRRiverside
