Wild Times at Riverside!
Barn Hill Preserve visited Riverside with some of their incredible creatures. Kindergarten and first grade classes experienced up close encounters with an axolotl, a three-banded armadillo, a cockatoo, and a blue-tongued skink. They learned about the unique animals and had the opportunity to smile for the camera alongside some as well. Several of the teachers had their photos taken with the animals too. It was a fun, educational, and memorable experience for all of the students and teachers.

We have lots of coats, jackets, and other items in our Lost and Found. Please have your child check soon as we will be donating them at the end of March.
Read Across America Scores a Touchdown!
Riverside was super excited to have some of the NGHS Football Players as guest readers on Friday, March 7th. The football players visited select classrooms to spend some time reading to younger students. What a great way for students to engage in reading by hearing high school athletes modeling the importance of reading!
