Congratulations to all of our students who achieved PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the entire school year! Your dedication, responsibility, and commitment to being here every day did not go unnoticed.
We are so proud of your hard work and consistency throughout the year. Keep up the great work, and thank you for making attendance a priority!
A special congratulations goes out to Xander Dressback, whose name was drawn to win a Nintendo Switch 2 for having perfect attendance! 🎮
The others in the running did not go home empty-handed. They each received $50 donated by Sandford Funeral Home, along with a stack of coupons donated by Orphan Annie’s. We greatly appreciate the support from our community partners!
Students who had perfect attendance for the quarter were treated to Fazoli’s for lunch, and students with perfect attendance for the semester also received a t-shirt from Main Street Graphics.
Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate and reward our students for their dedication and commitment throughout the school year!

Our Riverside JH Girls softball team met with Tammy Gump of the Logan County Cancer Society to give her the proceeds from our "Swinging for a Cure" softball benefit. They met in the Athletic Facility. and the softball team gave her a tour of our facility. After the tour, the softball team presented the check to Tammy.. She was really impressed with the amount that the JH girls raised in a single day ($2753) and commended the Riverside, Bellefontaine and Indian Lake communities for the donation and coming together for a great cause.
GREAT JOB JH GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM!
