GO LADY PIRATES!
Last Friday, some of the food delivery volunteers were rewarded with cupcakes made by one of our elementary teachers. Each week members of G.R. A.C.E. (an organization made up of around 5 of our local churches) pack boxes of food that gets delivered every Friday morning to the school. At the start of the year some of Mrs. Fleming's ELA students would help out at the beginning of class time, but then volunteers from Mrs. Lentz's study hall took over to help distribute the food to classrooms throughout the building. Friday mornings were a great time for members of the community and Riverside students to have the chance to work together!
MSHS Principal Mrs. Kauffman awarded her students today that achieved Perfect Attendance all year. Each student received a crisp $50 bill. Their names were placed in a drawing for a PS5 system, which was won by Ayden Mees! Congrats to Ayden, Carson, Vivian, Victoria and Corbin!
Brenden Lattimer was also awarded with a Taco Bell gift card and $10. He achieved Perfect Attendance until last Friday when he was tardy.
We are #pirateproud of all of you! Enjoy your Summer break!
