Riverview 2nd Grade classes partnered with the History Channel for a celebration of our veterans for Veterans' Day.  Students invited family members or friends  who serve or have served in the military to visit our classrooms.  The veterans spoke about their duties and what branch of the military they belonged to.  They showed photos and uniforms and told stories of their duties and places they served.

Students in Mrs. Nelson's music class received a surprise from our neighbor and parent of students at Riverview, Mr. Burrs.  Last week he brought in his hand-made drums for the kids to see and listen to.  Students had a great time listening to the different tones and sounds the drums and instruments made.  He is welcome any time with his creations!
