Express Shout-Out Goes To:  Kim Webster, Sara Vakiener, Brian Ackley, Carrie Deleone, Rebecca Cole, Angela Taylor
Submitted by: Heather Donovan

"At Riverside, we try to make reading special. This year we had our semi-annual John Simon Day with the theme "All are Welcome Here" Without the help of these amazing staff members. We held a concert and workshop in school and then the next day we invited community partners and families back to school for an Art Show, Community engagement and A wonderful Concert from John Simon and Cal Walker. These staff members in particular worked tirelessly to plan and organize this event. All of our staff participated in one way or another, but these Riverside Dragons put it all together! Thank you!"

Express Shout-Out Goes To:  Adrianne Guardi
Submitted by: Kristin Novistky

"Riverside School is lucky to have a very talented art teacher who uses her gifts compliment the school's feeling of a caring community.  Mrs. Guardi spent many hours doing an excellent job displaying student's art work for the school art show. The total effect was really impressive.  She also created a beautiful mural of Riverside School for the lobby.  Throughout the year she has created many displays/projects that  compliment the current theme of the building.  She truly deserves a shout out!"
