Kansas Teacher of the Year
Dear Families,
Please consider nominating your favorite teacher for Kansas Teacher of the Year.
The De Soto School District has been an important and strong participant in the Kansas Teacher of the Year Program for many years. De Soto has had fifteen state finalists and twelve semi-finalists represented in the program since 2000. Two of our very own teachers were chosen as The Kansas Teacher of the Year; Keil Hileman in 2004 and Jeri Powers in 2008. This is truly unprecedented!
We would like for you to nominate any teacher whom you consider to be an outstanding and effective educator and whom you or your child has had as a teacher. This person must be a tenured employee of USD 232. If there is a De Soto educator whom you believe to be outstanding and deserving of special recognition, please fill out the nomination form at www.usd232.org/ktoy
The deadline is noon on Friday, January 14th This year all staff nominations will be though our online nomination form.
Bone Marrow Drive
Food Drive
We are always amazed by our generous Riverview Community! With your help, our Girl Scout Troops were able to pack 82 holiday boxes for Harvesters! Altogether, over 1,000 items were donated. The fifth grade class won a free recess with a grand total of 309 donations, but each grade level donated over 100 items. Thank you again for your donations and generosity this holiday season!
Thank you to RE’s 5th grade Girl Scouts for spearheading this food drive and a huge thank you to the other grade level troops for helping to pack the boxes!
Messages From PTA
Skate Night:
Riverview Elementary skate night at Skate City is Thursday, January 13th! Come out and skate from 6-8pm with other Riverview families for a fun, community event. We hope to see you there!
Snow Creek Update:
We have some sad news, Falcons! Because of unseasonably warm weather, Snow Creek is unable to schedule tubing excursions at this time. We were holding out hope to have our traditional outing in late January, but unfortunately we have to cancel the event. We look forward to planning some alternative family community events in the spring. We look forward to seeing many of you at family skate night at Skate City planned for January 13th! Thank you!
BoxTops for Riverview!
Turning in your BoxTops to benefit RE PTA is even easier this year! There are 3 ways you can contribute:
1. Download the app, register your name and choose Riverview Shawnee, KS as the school to send your earnings. After shopping, use the app to scan your receipt. The app will pick up any product that qualifies and automatically credit them to Riverview.
2. Doing online grocery orders with an emailed receipt? Just forward that email to receipts@boxtops4education.com (Important: you must have previously registered through the app to tie your email to your selected school for this option).
3. Physical Box Top clippings can still be turned in as long as they aren’t expired. You can tape them to any sheet of paper or save them in a ziplock bag to send in to school with your child. If you have any questions, please reach out to Stacy Schmidtlein at semontee@hotmail.com.
With most BoxTop products being digital, the app is essential in taking advantage of all potential earnings. Thank you for your support!
Amazon Smile
