For the FFA's food drive this week to support the Indian Lake community, Mr. Bodenmiller, our HS Math teacher challenged his 1st period class (of 8 students) to bring in 300 items in 2 days. Their reward (other than the positive feelings of being kind and charitable) would be that he would shave his face for the first time since 2018. As you can see, the results are shown below. In 2 days they brought in 319 items and the final count today is up to 350. Granted this might not have been the best lesson in community support or that you don't have to receive something in order to be giving, but sometimes a little motivation is all you need!
P.S. he is currently accepting donations of warm/fuzzy scarves so that he will be able to make it through "Spring" Break.
K-6 Talent Show Info coming home today or tomorrow 😃 spring break is a great time to practice and prepare 😃

The 2024 JH Ohio Model United Nations (OMUN) Education Contest took place earlier this week in Columbus. Through the process of role-playing, Riverside JH students became delegates of Madagascar in order to write, present and debate issues affecting the nations and peoples of the world. Their resolution titled “It’s Raining Cats and Dogs” focused on the importance of animal health and lack of education in Madagascar. Riverside students influenced countries to adopt spaying, neutering and vaccines for these animals, as well as, purchasing education material for schools. Riverside students presented culturally based talent, participated in global education contests and debated current global issues. Valerie Knight earned an Outstanding Leadership Award. Congratulations to Riverside's JH OMUN for all their hard work!

Riverside Local School’s priority remains the safety and well-being of your children during both face-to-face and online interactions. Our school's network and Chromebooks are equipped with safeguards such as GoGuardian and Bark to minimize exposure to inappropriate content, monitor email correspondence, and ensure a focused learning environment 24/7. There is no product that we can implement that can/will catch 100% of content and issues.
With all of this in place, nothing can take the place of your supervision. We encourage you to have open conversations with your children about responsible and safe internet usage. Reinforcing proper online behavior and discussing the potential risks associated with unrestricted browsing can greatly contribute to their digital literacy and safety. It's an excellent opportunity to emphasize the importance of critical thinking and being respectful digital citizens.
