📚✨ Staff Spotlight: Librarian! ✨📚

Today we’re shining the spotlight on the heart of our library at Riverbend Middle School—our amazing librarian, Mrs. Moser!

Our library is so much more than a place to check out books. It’s a welcoming space where students explore new worlds, discover their interests, research big ideas, and develop a lifelong love of reading. Mrs. Moser works tirelessly to connect students with the perfect book, support classroom learning, and create a space where everyone feels welcome.

From organizing engaging book displays to helping students navigate research projects, their dedication keeps curiosity alive and learning thriving.

We are so grateful for the passion, organization, and warmth they bring to Riverbend each and every day!

Riverbend Middle School students explored hands-on learning during the annual Skills Day held on Friday, May 1. 🤝

With 26 local businesses participating, students had the opportunity to experience a wide range of practical skills and potential career paths through interactive demonstrations.

Throughout the day, students stayed actively engaged as they made beeswax candles, practiced fire safety techniques, prepared pizza, and tried their hand at woodworking.

Mrs. Alt shared that the goal of Skills Day is to help students build a stronger understanding of real-life skills they can carry with them into the future. 💜
