Riverview Fire Marshals and Optimist Club members successfully completed a fundraiser for Mission Machine, a White County public service organization which helps the homeless citizens in our county. They raised over $600 and donated hats, scarves, coats, gloves, and socks. Thank you to Riverview students and families who donated to this worthy cause. Special thanks to Riverview’s Mrs. Amanda Barnes and her daughter, Amelia Thomas for crocheting hats and gloves for our fundraiser. We wouldn’t have accomplished our goals without the Riverview family. It feels good to be a Raider!

The JES PTO is raising money for a new school poster maker by offering Christmas photos (see attached form). Money and forms are due by Dec. 6.
As we approach December and the possibility of bad weather I just want to update everyone on how snow days will be handled this year. With the passage of the LEARNS Act, school districts are required to have 178 in person school days to receive the additional funding that was included in the bill. Therefore, this year when we have a snow day it will not be an AMI day and the snow make up days on the calendar will be used. All the snow make up days are at the end of the school year so any missed days due to weather will be made up after May 24.
Judsonia Elementary was awarded $8,400.00 from the PEER Network for Summative Student Growth on the ACT Aspire! 🎉💜
