Your Voice Counts!
Dear Parents,
Riverside was recently recognized as a Double Platinum Award School by the Georgia Department of Education. We are one of just four schools in the state to earn this distinction. Way to go Riverside students, teachers, and community!
Your input is an important factor in this recognition. Please take a few minutes to complete this year's Georgia School Climate Survey. It will be available through March 1, 2020.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

This Week...
Today we celebrate Mae C.Jemison. She was the first African- American to enter the space program. She flew on Space Shuttle in 1992 and became the first African-American woman in space. She had several college degrees, including biomedical engineering and a medical doctor degree. When she was a child she spent a lot of time reading books about space.

Linus Project
Fourth grade students will be receiving information about a special after-school opportunity that will be open to their grade only, but we want the entire school community to participate at home at their own convenience.
This is an easy, fun way to contribute to a very meaningful cause. There is no sewing involved and the only expense is the purchase price of the fleece, which can be found at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, or Joann Fabrics. For more details and complete instructions, please visit www.riversidepta.net or email Heather Sinyard at heather@sinyard.org.
Completed blankets may be dropped off in the school lobby anytime between now and Friday, February 28th. Thank you for your help with this worthy service project!
