Dear Riverside Parents,

Students have accomplished so much over the past four months, and your support has made all the difference! The pace has been swift and we're already approaching December. With that in mind, I hope you and your family can slow down next week and have some quality time together. May you have a very happy Thanksgiving holiday!

Your principal,

Ben Pope

Thank you, PTA for bringing "Puppet Guy" to Riverside 1st grade students! He did his interpretation of the Princess and the Pea, called "The Princess and the Butterbean, Y'all." At the end of the show, he talked about the central message and then showed the students how he works all the puppets at once and how he makes the sounds.
