Horace Mann presents the Crystal Apple Award to a teacher each year.  The recipient is chosen by the faculty and peers.  This year's award goes to Amy Jensen!  Mrs. Jensen teaches first grade and loves it!  Her team member Michele LemMon gave tribute to her Wednesday afternoon.  She said that Mrs. Jensen is the most willing, helpful, excited teacher she thinks she has ever met, and that she absolutely loves first grade!  We are very lucky at Riverview to have Mrs. Jensen here.  Congratulations Mrs. Jensen!

Submitted by amy.nelson on

5th graders at Riverview graduated from their D.A.R.E (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program this past week!  This 16-week course taught the students skills to keep them safe from drugs, violence, unhealthy peer pressure, and gang activity. Some of the students shared their essays, and some were our "Super Students".

Congratulations D.A.R.E. graduates!

Submitted by amy.nelson on

Riverview hosted another wonderful art show tonight in conjunction with Family Night at the book fair.  Students from all grades entered works of art.  The gym was full of pieces that showed abilities of all kinds.  This is such a fun way to show off the skill and fun that goes into learning about and being artists.
