Our 8th graders, along with Mrs. Wehrle, Mrs. Caudill, and Mr. Day arrived in Washington DC yesterday after stopping at Shanksville, PA to visit the United Flight 93 Crash Sight and Memorial. Today, included visits to the MLK Jr, FDR, and Jefferson Memorials, and a guided tour of the U. S. Capitol Buidling, Mt. Vernon, and Ford's Theater. Another highlight to their day included all you can eat pizza, pasta, salad, chicken nuggets, french fries, and chocolate chip cookies at Primos Italian restaurant. They finished up their day with a visit to the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial. It was a HOT day with a heat index of 106 degrees, but so much was learned and so much fun was had!

The Health Partners of Western Ohio Vision Outreach Team came to Riverdale for the first time on April 22nd. They provided eye exams for 18 students that were signed up by their parents. The 7 students in the picture were prescribed glasses and assisted by the eye specialist in picking out their glasses. The program offers one free replacement pair of glasses for each student within the year by contacting the school nurse. The Vision Outreach Team is planning on coming to the school again next school year in April. We are hoping to increase our number of students to receive eye exams. This is available to all students and parents just fill out the paperwork. Any questions, please contact Susan Eiting, School Nurse @ seiting@riverdalefalcons.org.
