Grizzly Gazette
Riverglen Newsletter- Dec 16, 2020
From the Desk of the Principal
Hi Grizzly Families!
Here are a few reminders as we conclude the 1st semester of this challenging and constantly changing school year. In this edition of the Grizzly Gazette, you will find information on topics ranging from our schedule next week and when we return in January to library news and an RJH athletics update. I hope that over the winter break, you get some much-needed rest and relaxation and that all our grizzlies are ready to start 2nd semester with a renewed sense of excitement and energy.
Warmest winter wishes,
Mrs. Watts
