Lance Blocker, Meteorologist with CBS 17 News came and spoke with our 5th graders today. Absolutely amazing opportunity for all.
Students received a Muddy Book Club Book Tracker in January where they could list ten books that they have read. 📖 We have approval for students to turn their paper in to the box office on Saturday, April 5, in exchange for a book marker that will give them a free ticket for a future Mudcats game. This is the day that the RES chorus will sing the National Anthem 🎶 AND proceeds from each ticket purchased from the link below, will go back to the RES PTA. Students can also turn their paper in on Sunday, April 6 or Sunday, April 20.
Come see Sue Ann Hallinger, one of our fabulous 3rd grade teachers, throw the ceremonial first pitch ⚾️ ,and enjoy fireworks after the game!!! 🎆
🎟Go here for tickets to the game on Saturday, April 5--

Good evening Riverwood Elementary families! This is your principal Mrs. White. Thank you families for all you have done to raise money for the APEX Fundraiser. Our students have really enjoyed learning about how they can become future leaders! As a reminder, the APEX Fun Run is scheduled for this Thursday, April 3rd. 1st and 3rd grade are from 11-12 pm, Kindergarten and 4th grade from 1-2 pm , and 2nd and 5th grade from 2-3 pm. The Fun Run will be held at the Riverwood Middle practice field that is next to Athletic Club Boulevard. Parents are encouraged to attend but it is important that you do not park on Athletic Club Boulevard or in the back parking lot at Riverwood Middle. Doing so will impede their dismissal procedures. For extra parking, please park at the shops, the Athletic Club gravel lot or Food Lion. Please be sure your child drinks plenty of water leading up to Thursday as it is going to be a hot day! Also, the JCPS Spring Parent Survey has been extended through this Friday, April 4th. Parents, please take the time to take the survey.
