The Riverwalk Roar
March 19, 2020
Note from Dr. Compton
Pride,
We wanted to send out a quick "thank you" for how well everyone seems to be dealing with our current situation. Hopefully, some of you took just a minute to watch The Coffee Bean video that I shared yesterday. If you didn't, here is a short written version of Jon Gordon's book, from the same title.
We also want to say "thank you" to those of you who are taking advantage of our teachers' Google Hangouts. I heard from many staff today who said they loved hearing/seeing their students. In an effort to try out some additional online platforms, we played around with Flipgrid today and I asked the team "what has been the most memorable thing that has taken place over these past 3 days" and every single teacher said, "hearing from our students or getting an email from a parent whose child wanted them to tell the teacher something."
Looking ahead, I wanted to let you know that our next newsletter will be on Sunday night, but we will have another social media challenge tomorrow (Friday) and one more on Saturday. Please try to "stay connected" with us via our social media channels.
If there is anything that we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our teachers have daily office hours, which are posted on our website, and our support staff and administrators are available too; this includes Ms. McCray, Mr. Graham, Ms. Mabey, Ms. Carr, and Nurse Donna. Reach out, we're here to support you and your family.
Be Brave and Be A Coffee Bean,
~Dr. Compton

Social Media Day 3: What are you thankful for?
Census
I wanted to pass along some information from the US Census Team. It is a census year, and COVID-19 is making it tough for them to conduct an accurate census. They do have an online option for you to participate. Consider doing it online by clicking here.
Area Breakfast and Lunch Feeding Locations
Pride, even though you attend Riverwalk Academy, each of you are able to take advantage of the local district's feeding plan which, in most cases, involves free breakfast and lunch for students aged 18 and younger. Click here to visit the list of locations in the surrounding school districts. We'll try to keep this list updated at that same web link.
