Riverside Local Schools

The Riverside Girls' Retreat wrapped up on Monday, and what a fun time they had! The team building and cabin-time activities were among their favorite. Some of the outcomes we focused on were belonging, confidence, bonding, leadership, and empowerment.

Please join us this weekend in the high school parking lot for the 3rd annual Makayla Brandyberry Car and Bike Show! Registration starts at 10 am, awards at 3pm. There will be food trucks on site so bring the family for lunch.

Student's in 4th and 5th grade that signed up for Art Club here is the schedule!

**RIVERSIDE VARSITY FOOTBALL SCHEDULE UPDATE**
Lehman Catholic informed Riverside on Tuesday, October 6 that their varsity football numbers are low. The wanted us to know that they could not guarantee that they will have enough players to play our varsity football game on October 16. Lehman Catholic gave us permission to see if we could find another game. Taking everything into account, including that October 16th is our Fall Athletic Senior Night, the Pirates will now be playing Cedarville H.S. on October 16 at 7:00 pm at Riverside.
