On Wednesday 4/24/13, six 6th Grade students from Riverview were among those representing the many "TERRIFIC KIDS" we have at Riverview and were honored by the Spanish Fork Kiwanis Club at an awards ceremony.The award recipients were: Brooklynn, Jorge , Amanda, Garrett, Racquel, Donovan,  Mitchell, and Kelina. 
These six students helped expemplify "TERRIFIC KIDS" in the following ways:

Our school's orchestra performed for us last Thursday.  Mrs. Wangsgard did such a fantastic job helping these students learn their instruments and perform songs together as a group.  Some of the songs that required plucking the strings really caught the ears of the students!  Some of the orchestra members played familiar tunes that almost every student knew.  One was the theme song from Star Wars! 

Charles Thorpe, currently teaching 4th grade at Riverview, is retiring this year!  He has been an educator in the classroom for 38 years.  He has touched the lives of so many students throughout the years, including some of the staff here at Riverview. There is a celebration today at the school's library in his behalf.

4th graders experienced an Arbor Day to remember last week.  Students were able to share the importance of trees in the community and neighborhood.  They were able to help plant trees and participate with Spanish Fork in maintaining "Tree City" as a status symbol for the city.  Riverview 4th graders are happy to support that!
