Hello Riverwalk Families,
This week, we recognized our Book 500 winners with a fun filled celebration! Students enjoyed a Pit Party, extra recess, and the opportunity to dress in racing gear. The energy, excitement, and sense of accomplishment could be felt all around as we celebrated their hard work together.
Thank you for all you do to support our Pride!
Mrs. McCray, Elementary Principal
Greetings parents,
Last week, I said I would be doing a lesson on Mindfulness in 5th grade. Actually, I changed my mind and with each class of 5th grade I had a conversation. About middle school. I made a list of all their worries, stressful questions and general questions about changing classes, rules, teachers and electives. In May, Ms. Teague, the middle school counselor and I will have another conversation with them and give them all the answers we can. We want to alleviate some of their worries and concerns so they can look forward to this new stage in life and enjoy summer without stress.
For my second lesson this month in Kindergarten and 1st grades, we had a wonderful lesson about issues in life being a little or big deal. The lesson will introduce the Feelings train that will continue to teach them next month about more important social emotional topics.
Thank you for your continued support of our students.
Love,
Mrs. Carr
