Dear River Mill Families,
Thank You for Your Support in Our Jog-a-thon Fundraiser! We are incredibly grateful to all of the amazing parent volunteers who helped make this year's Jog-a-thon a huge success! Your time, effort, and enthusiasm made the event run smoothly, and we couldn't have done it without you. A big thank you also goes out to all of our families and community members for your generosity and support. Together, we raised over $10,000 for our classrooms! These funds will go directly toward enhancing our students' learning experiences and providing essential resources. Your continued involvement and support make a tremendous difference in our school community. Thank you again for making this event a success!
Third and Fourth Grade Family Breakfast on Wednesday, October 9th!
We warmly invite you to come and enjoy breakfast with your 3rd or 4th grade student. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together, and we look forward to sharing this special moment with you.
Please remember to secure your FREE Hometown tickets (see link below) before the event and have them ready to be scanned upon entry. Breakfast will be served from 7:30 AM to 8:15 AM in our cafeteria. While you enjoy breakfast with your 3rd or 4th grader, siblings will have their breakfast in the classroom on this day and will have their own designated family breakfast event at a later time.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Lindsey Fullenwider, Principal
Trevor Syring, Vice Principal

School Commitments
One of the highlights from this week (pictured above) was when we had student delegates (a student from each class) join Mr. Syring to go work at the central office with Superintendent Carpenter to develop our school's hopes and dreams for the school year. Each classroom developed their classroom hopes and dreams. Then students synthesized them into grade level ones. Finally, this team of students developed what we will adopt for our school community and every child will get to sign off on their agreement to accomplish them. The agreements are:
- Be safe by using K.H.F.O.O.T.Y.
- Be friends by hanging out with new students and practicing the Golden Rule
- Never give up
- Take care of our school, classroom, and supplies
- Be mature by obeying all school rules and expectations
These students engaged in thoughtful dialogue around what was important to them and why. We are so proud of the work they did to come to these agreements for the year.
