Riverside Community School District

The Puffins have all been spoken for. Thank you to everyone for the quick responses & look for our annual sale next January!

If you wanted Puffins but forgot to order some, you're in luck! We accidentally ordered too many puffins and now have a limited supply for cheap. We are selling them for $10 instead of the normal $16. Once they are gone, they're gone! Please email Mrs. Schwartzkopf if you would like any of the following: Cinnamon, Strawberry Cream, Blueberry Cream, Apple, Caramel, Raspberry Butter Hearts, or Breakfast Pizza.

The JH Student Council has put together some shout outs for 6th-8th grade that you will see in the attached graphic from January and February!

The I Smile program through FireFly came to count teeth, make referrals if needed and applied sealant if needed to the elementary students' teeth last week. Thanks to Nurse Meridith for seeking these resources out for our kids! #WeRRiverside
