Hard to believe the year is almost coming to an end! It's been a very productive and eventful year and we are proud of our Riverview Rockets! Not only are we proud of all the academic gains our students have demonstrated, but we are also proud of their character and R.O.C.K.E.T behavior. This year we received the distinct honor of being recognized as a 2018-2020 New Jersey School of Character, we raised money to repair four wells in Africa to name just a few major accomplishments!
Our fourth and fifth grade students performed beautifully during our Spring Concert. We would like to thank Mrs. Bertani and Mrs. Fries for helping our students develop their musical talents. Thank you parents for supporting a love for music with your children. During our concert, we also had Pia Piazzi, a former Riverview student dedicate a plethora of music books that she received from generous donations to our Riverview library. Thank you, Pia, for your beautiful, musical addition to our library!
We also want to recognize our guidance counselor, Mr. McCabe for being honored as the "Staff Person of the Year". Mr. McCabe consistently goes above and beyond for our learning community. We are so proud of him for receiving this well-deserved distinction!
Our Riverview Rockets have been enjoying many exciting and educational field trips. Fourth grade went to Liberty Hall Museum to learn about life during the time of the Revolutionary War. Second grade students enjoyed bird watching at Pyramid Mountain. Third grade will go to Native Lands to learn about the different Native American traditions. The fifth grade will visit Valleyview on
May 29.
Our students worked hard in completing the PARCC testing. We have many special events planned to celebrate the successes of the year. We are looking forward to our fifth grade LEAD graduation on May 25; NJ Day on May 31; Field Day on June 1; PTA Fun Fair on June 9 and our mural unveiling on June 15.
