Students showed their school spirit on Hat Day by wearing all kinds of fun and creative hats to class! From cowboy hats to baseball caps, and even silly, colorful creations, everyone had a great time showing off their unique style and school pride.







The students were so excited to see the new playground toys donated by the PTO. Their generous gift will bring lots of fun and smiles to recess each day.







Students showed off their school spirit by dressing up for Country Western Day! Cowboy hats, boots, plaid shirts, and bandanas filled the halls as everyone joined in the fun. The day was full of smiles, laughter, and school pride as students celebrated together with a western flair.










Loved the sweatshirt and sweats school spirit on Monday!
Hope all of those Country Western students come today. Saddle up and head to school. Yeehaw!!!








Goostavo is ready for Spirit Week! Shout out to these Golden Geese of the Week for all of your help this week in Mrs. Scarpelli’s room!

Mrs. Fox's class took time for teamwork and togetherness. The objective was to build a spaghetti structure strong enough to hang a marshmallow from it. The marshmallow to hang highest from the desk would win!
There was a lot of creativity, good conversation, and a few groups with great success!







Embry and Co. generously donated a large amount of school supplies to the students at Riverview Elementary. Their kindness is helping ensure every child has the tools they need to learn and succeed. The Riverview community is so grateful for their support and generosity!

Mrs. Maleski’s first grade class has been doing a wonderful job working together as a team. The students are learning how to share ideas, take turns, and help one another with their work. Whether they are reading in small groups, solving math problems, or building projects, they are showing kindness and cooperation every day. By working with each other, they are not only learning new skills but also building strong friendships in the classroom.



TrebleMakers Youth Choir is starting a new season and they're excited to share the joy of song with your child!
