The Riverside 5th grade through 12th grade Art Show will be Wednesday April 30th. The Art Show will run 3:30-7:00 and be followed by Band Concert beginning at 7:00. All of the best pieces made from the 24-25 school year will be on display in the main hallway leading to the auditeria. There are a lot of very impressive pieces of Art to come and see. Art has so much more of impact when you get to view in person and I hope many will come out to see the show and also enjoy the band concert.

It was a fun St. Patrick's Day for the second graders! They were greeted with green glitter, gold coins, a letter from the Leprechaun, and a lucky charm treat. They had a good time hunting for the Leprechaun's shoes. They also had a lot of fun performing a Reader's Theater and decorating shamrocks with glitter glue. The students learned new interesting facts and were able to write and share them with each other. 🍀
Reminder: Girl Scout meeting Wednesday, March 19th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm in the Riverside Elementary cafeteria.

Sidney Daily News: Positions available to help write/cover our Riverside spring athletic events for the Sidney Daily News: See message below from Ryan Harless.
From: Ryan Harless: Sports writer and assistant editor of the Sidney Daily News.
I am reaching out to inquire about the possibility of utilizing some high schoolers who are interested in photography/journalism as stringers for our sports department.
With me being the only writer in the department it would be a great help to be able to get more coverage for local sports in the paper.
I would be willing to give crash courses on how to keep stats and report on things to help get the process started.
It wouldn't be a large time commitment and we would be able to compensate for work done!
