®️ November SEL Trait - Service ®️
Good afternoon Riverton families!
In this newsletter I want to extend on a subtopic of belonging. This month we are highlighting SERVICE LEARNING as our students continue to make connections and a positive impact on our local and global community. Throughout Riverton School I have observed service learning by all grade levels. However, this month I wanted to give a huge shout out to our middle school students for their service learning projects and activities they are researching and implementing in Ms. Allen's class. A few of the projects are highlighted below. GREAT WORK!
With gratitude,
Mr. Zagorski

Riverton Students Honor Community Veterans
Shout out to our school for honoring our local veterans. Thank you for your service to our country. Our first graders opened the ceremony with their When the Flags Come Marching in procession (pictured). A special shout out to our 4th grade students, their teachers and Mrs. Parker for their performance during the presentation. Our middle school students did an excellent job asking our guest of honor, Staff Sergeant William Barats, questions. Our 5th grade students also created digital appreciation cards. An additional special shout out to 6th grade student, Eamon Ehrhardt, for his solo rendition during the culminating slide show.
