Thank you Aubree for teaching my students about Cinco de Mayo! They had a blast learning about it!!
Staff Spotlight Day. Today we highlight Mrs. Ehresmann.
Mrs. Ehresmann works in our upper elementary where she is asked to do multiple things in one day of work. Recess duty to aiding students with classwork as well as little errands to help teachers. She does all this with a big smile and is friendly with all who come in contact with her. We love her attitude and sense of humor, our students love her. When I went to take her pic she was swinging with one of our students, a great pic of a lady with a big heart. Thanks for all you do, Mrs. Ehresmann, we are blessed that you are part of our Pirate family.

There is so much good artwork to come and see. It is always better when you come and see art in person than just viewing it online, so I hope to see a lot of people come. I will post pictures from the show online. This special night for seniors who have been in art for several years and some since their freshmen year. There is also a Band Concert that night and the Band always puts on a really good show.

Bio-
I am a paraprofessional and currently working with two students directly in the 8th grade. I have previously worked with students with special needs. I assist my students with classroom work and provide additional aide for testing. I also enjoy assisting in the classroom with other students and teachers. I have worked for Riverside for five years.
Family-I am married to my wonderful husband Jeremiah and we have 3 awesome kids. Our oldest Natalie, graduated from Riverside in 2020. She graduated from The Modern College Of Design with a degree in Graphic Design and currently lives in Kettering. Our middle child, Chase, is a sophomore and our youngest, Avery is a fifth grader here at Riverside. We also travel to see family out of state as often as we can.
Hobbies- We have a small farm outside of town with goats and chickens and harvest hay from our pasture and other fields three times every summer. We enjoy camping and hiking at Lake Hope and Hocking Hills. We also enjoy having family get togethers down at our pond with campfires, cookouts and fishing. Most of all, we enjoy building. We plan on constructing a tree house on our property in the future.
Favorites- I love to travel to my moms during the weekends and when we go to Frankenmuth, Michigan. There’s something about going home that recharges my batteries. I also love when Natalie comes up to visit and how she still loves to come home when she can. Summer is my favorite season because I love spending time down at the pond, it is my happy place. I love cooking over the campfire and watching the kids roasting marshmallows. I really enjoy spending time with my husband. We get along really well and we love to laugh by roasting each other. The kids are still trying to get used to it.
Best co-workers- I’ve had the privilege to work in every grade including preschool in the building. But I really enjoy working with the jr high kids. I enjoy the conversations and the humor and the fact that they socialize with me. They’re not too cool to talk to me yet. The jr high teachers are great to work with. We share common struggles so it’s easy to talk to them and I enjoy our conversations.
Why Riverside-The Riverside community is all about family and I have purpose. I know that my kids are taken care of at school and I love making a difference for our students. The faculty and administration work hard for our students and put their needs first, and I admire them for that. Working at Riverside gives me purpose and joy everyday.
#ThankYouBusDrivers for all you do to keep students safe on their journey to and from school and all trips in between. Remember to thank your #BusDriver today!
