Issue 14 - #RivPride
®️ March SEL Trait - Self Esteem®️
Good afternoon Riverton families!
In this newsletter, I wanted to briefly highlight a family-friendly resource for reading, Reading Rockets. Reading Rockets is a national public media literacy initiative that offers information and resources to parents/guardians on how young children learn to read. As I reflect on my own children's "learning to read" journey I often wish I knew then what I know now. I hope you find this resource helpful!
With gratitude,
Mr. Zagorski

Congratulations Macie Scherrer!
Congratulations to Riverton School 8th grade student, Macie Scherrer, who was selected to participate in the New Jersey School Board's Burlington County 8th Grade Dialogue night. What is the 8th Grade Dialogue? 8th Grade students from Burlington County middle schools come together on stage for one night to answer a series of questions presented from the NJSBA Burlington County representatives. This year questions included:
Riverton School Variety Show a Success!
This year's Riverton School Variety show was a huge success! Thank you to the PTO and all of the parent volunteers who contributed to the performance. As I watched the show and traveled the hallways I saw a lot of smiling faces. Our children worked hard to put on a show that they will never forget. This year our title was, "Dreaming & Streaming." My hope is our children never stop dreaming and it is say to say in 2023 we know they may never stop streaming! Congrats to all!
Read Across America Week a Success!
Students enjoyed a fun filled Reading Celebration the first week of March! A special thanks to the author Daniel Jude Miller for his time and inspiration. Also, thank you to the Riverton Library and Mr. Robinson for hosting a special Kindergarten and 1st Grade Story Time.
Another big thank you to our Porch Club Volunteers for hosting the 2nd and 3rd Grade for our CAMP READ-ALOT themed visit.
Thank you to Mrs. Veasy for her beautiful decorating.
