Our PTA helped us celebrate a week of learning and fun as we talked about how to be safe when we walk to school and ride our bikes. The grand finale of this learning fun was our Walk to School Day where students who walked to school met UVU's Willy the Wolverine and received a water bottle and granola bar. Walking and riding bikes to school helps us keep our fitness goals, and now we know how to be safe while doing so!
Riveriview has added an additional program to help us strive for being fit and active. Introducing Champion Village! We had a fun assembly to help us learn about and kick off the program. We learned what a champion is and how we can all be one. Students have the chance to create an account and log all of their activities with this really fun site! The link is available on our webpage.
The 2011/2012 school year at Riverview will extraordinary! We have new goals and new ways to be extraordinary. Mrs.

Wyatt Winters loves America. Ever since Wyatt began school, at Riverview Elementary, Wyatt has shown pride for his country by wearing attire that is appropriate for the holiday.

Logan McGraw, in Mrs. Bradford's class, is very lucky. His grandmother, Mrs. Beaman, is a professional poet. She visited Mrs. Bradford's class a few times throughout the school year, and taught the students how to add voice and make better word choices when writing their poems. The students love having her visit, because she is such a kind, sweet-spirited individual. When she visits the classroom, she makes the students feel happier and ten feet taller.
