This morning the RV kindergarten and second grades classes got a enjoy a small petting zoo in the school parking lot. Mrs. Spaulding was gracious enough to bring some of her goats for the students to pet and ask some questions about. It was fun time with a lot of "kidding" around:).



Today we held our April Longest Fry Contest and the winning students were: Sophie S., Corbin D., Liam M., Willa V., Aiden R., and Tesla W. As usually, there was a lot of energy in the lunchroom and good fun was had by all.



ALERT: Today's River Valley Invitational High School Track Meet has been cancelled due to weather conditions.
Good Wednesday Morning,
This is just a friendly reminder on our "Dress for the Weather" policy. I have attached the needed info. Please remember that it is the "Real Feel" temperature at the time of recess that applies. Students should layer up to prepare for the day, which would include sweatpants over shorts, jacket over hoodie, hats, gloves, etc.... It has generally not been warm enough for shorts and t-shirts until the late recess (which is after 2 PM.).
Students who are not appropriately dressed for the weather, will remain inside. Thanks for your cooperation.

PARENTS: An email was just resent with the Conditions for Learning Survey through the state of Iowa. In this email, there is explanation of what this survey is and why it's valuable (and anonymous) input that helps River Valley becomes a safer and better school for our students! This email was sent to all students legal guardians that have an email registered in PowerSchool.

This past Friday, RV's fourth and fifth graders took a short trip to Correctionville and the Assisted Living Center. Through "Project Jack", classroom teachers and students created gift baskets for the residents and also spent time talking and getting to know each other. What a positive experience for all involved!




It's a great day for outdoor art class!






Last week RV Elementary kicked off Easter weekend with a visit from Mrs. Koskovich and RV High School FFA. They were gracious enough to spend some time with the entire elementary, teaching the the elementary students lesson about agriculture, had some craft time, and played some fun games. The Easter Bunny even stopped by to pay a visit! It was an educational and fun filled morning. We are very thankful that the "Big Kids" payed us a visit:).




Squid dissection day in Mr. Persinger's biology class!





During our March Madness Battle of the Books Challenge, all the students filled out their own brackets on what book would ultimately win the challenge. In the end, we had a few lucky students that guessed correctly. What I mean by lucky is that they were "lucky" enough to have Pizza with the Principal. The lucky students were: Kent W., Drake C., Nolan V., Jacob H., Quinn E., and Anna S. (Not pictured). It was a great time with some wonderful conversation.

Yesterday at our RV Elementary April Lift-off Mrs. Reinking announced our donation totals for Kid's Heart Challenge. RV Elementary raised almost $4,000! The top three donation getters were: Stella L., Ivy T., and Bryson R. They were given the honor of cutting off my tie:). I think all the students, even those in the audience, enjoyed it. I going to really miss that tie:(
