In Mrs. Brooks' first grade, we have been discussing shapes and their attributes. We worked in small groups and shared our thoughts with each other.

Mr. Bemis brought in Mrs. Hefner this morning to teach salsa dancing to his Spanish classes. As you can see, the students had a wonderful time—along with Mr. Bemis. He consistently finds creative, fun, and engaging ways to bring learning to life for his students, making his classroom an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

Big time recognition for Marissa Bonham! Marissa has been named 2nd Team All-Ohio in basketball 🏀 and also placed 6th in the long jump at the National Indoor Track Meet 🏃‍♀️👏 An incredible accomplishment showcasing her dedication, talent, and hard work across multiple sports. We are proud of you, Marissa!!!

Congratulations to Tyler Clay, Claryssa Johnson, Alexis Crace, and Molly Van Atta for being selected to place our Riverdale Middle School wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery when we go to Washington D.C. in May. Interested students wrote essays for this and were asked to include in their essays what placing the wreath would mean to them, why it was important to them, as well as why they felt they should be chosen to be awarded such an honorable privilege. The essays were terrific and it was incredibly difficult to pick the top 4, but in the end, these 4 students' essays were chosen. Congratulations again to Tyler, Claryssa, Alexis, and Molly!!!

GOOD NEWS!

The St. Patrick's Middle School Dance is on! We sold enough tickets!

📣 Riverdale Reminder! 📣

Just a quick reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow at Riverdale due to a Teacher In-Service Day.

We hope our students enjoy the day off, and we’ll see everyone back, refreshed and ready to learn, on Monday! 💙
