Here's another one of my CABIN crew who's trekked out on this chilly night in search of knowledge & earning booty!Hunter's mom even told me he said "this was scary but he was kinda brave!!" Way to go, Hunter! Your bravery on this excursion will result in treasure tomorrow!❤️💰💙


This week one of our vocabulary words is cabin. Many of my kinders said they've never seen a cabin before so I told my kiddos that I'd pay them $3.00 if they swung by the DeGraff Park and sent me a pic of them standing infront on the cabin there. Easy 💰 & making connections.


Here's another PIRATE braving this cold weather to collect some treasure & gain knowledge! This cabin may have been moved from the old school farm but it continues to be a gem for our students!!! I bet these kiddos will visualize the cabin when asked about it on their test!❤️💰💙

It has been brought to our attention that someone is attempting to solicit monetary donations for a Riverside Wrestling Team. Riverside currently does not have a wrestling team, nor do we have anyone fundraising at this time. This is a scam solicitor. Please do not donate to anyone calling on our behalf. Our community has a giving heart and is always very supportive of our needs. If you receive a call, please be cautious about giving any information to avoid giving to a scam. Please call us if you have questions.


Tonight the members of the Elementary Student Council were hard at work again in the concession stand! Tonight, Isabella, Luke, and Sam were joined by Vincent. Thank you all for working hard and being willing to help out!! ❤️🏀💙
