Principal Moment

When I think of Valentine’s Day memories, one stands out to me.

I was in third grade.  I remember how excited I was to hand out Valentine’s Day cards during my class. 

I had picked out a special card for the boy who made my heart swell and filled my belly with butterflies.  It was the perfect card.

I placed the card into his handmade Valentine’s Day mailbox before passing out the rest of my cards to my classmates. 

I returned to my desk, dug out my heartthrob’s Valentine, hoping I’d learn of his secret love for me.  I was heartbroken when my best friend pointed out that he had given both of us the same Valentine card. 

This case of puppy love didn’t end happily ever after. 

Happy Valentine’s Day!  We do love our jobs and all that comes with it.  Elementary school is a great place to spend a day…even on holidays. 

PTA Events

  • February 14th – Room Parent Valentine Parties
  • February 14th – 18th - Kindness Week

Riverview Fundraiser – February 14 – 18

This year, you can opt out of a traditional fundraiser by making a donation that will 100% DIRECTLY benefit Riverview Elementary School and help us achieve our goal of purchasing headphone replacements, water bottle filling stations and new PE equipment.

Just donate to Riverview Elementary School for what you normally spend at our typical school carnival fundraiser!  And besides that, all of it is TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Please make checks payable to Riverview Elementary and return to Riverview office. 

We encourage all to return the envelopes, regardless of whether there is a donation or not.  The overall class that has the most envelopes returned will earn a pizza party.  The grade level with the most returned envelopes will earn an ice cream party. If we have 75% of the envelopes returned the school will earn a PJ Read-a-Thon Party.

Fundraiser reward day will be Friday, March 11th.

Thank you for supporting Riverview Elementary!

Riverview Arts Day

The arts are an essential part of education our students.  Imagination and creativity take learned skills to a new level.  The arts teach multiple intelligences. 

On Friday, February 25th, each grade level will learn about artists and participate in an art activity.  Following, art projects will be hung in the halls to create a Riverview Art Gallery. 

Thank you, Mrs. Grant, for leading our Riverview Arts Day!
