🎉📚 Book Fair Winners! 📚🎉

Congratulations to these boys who each won a gift basket from our Spring Book Fair! During Family Night, they guessed the closest number to how many computer keys were in the jar, and their guesses were spot on!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fun and successful Book Fair Family Night. We loved seeing our Riverdale families learning, reading, and celebrating together! 🦅✨

Mrs. Brooks’ first-grade class has been busy learning and growing, just like their plants!

Students have been planting microgreens and exploring the plant life cycle firsthand! From planting seeds to watching them sprout, they are getting a hands-on look at how plants grow and change over time.

What a fun and engaging way to bring science to life in the classroom! 🌱
