The Family Weekly Roar
River Bend Elementary School
It's a Great Day to be a Tiger!
May 17, 2024
Congratulations to our Girls on the Run team on their 5K last Saturday and a huge shout out to their coaches: Ms. Knorr, Mrs. Gibbons, Mrs. Ferguson, and Ms. Mellor! The team is doing a service project and sponsoring a spirit day next Wednesday, May 22nd. Check out the flier below.
On Wednesday evening we welcomed a group of Tiny Tigers and their families. They got to sing and dance and meet all of the important people who will be working with them in the fall when they start kindergarten. Then, last night our 4th and 5th graders had their strings performance. Thank you to Ms. Jones. The students sounded great!
Today, 5th grade raised $150.00 sponsoring 'Anything But a Backpack Day.' This will help with their end of year celebrations. Thanks to all who participated and/or made a donation.
Don't forget that library books are due. Check to make sure there aren't any at home. Mrs. Brightwell is starting her end of year inventory process.
We added a few more dates to the bottom section of this newsletter and also included a flier about free eye exams. Check it out!
Each Child As My Own,
Jaime
