We WON the BYOT Virtual Fitness Challenge!!
In total, our county raised over $40,000 and moved 21,816 hours - 57 minutes - 25 seconds through the month of October. Riverwatch panthers came in 1st place for Middle Schools and Gayla Dore, one of our very own teachers, was the 1st place individual winner for middle school. Congrats to Gayla.
