The Community Service class is hosting a Hurricane Relief Drive for the victims of Hurricane Helene. We are partnering with a local charity group named Loads of Love, which will deliver a truckload of supplies to North Carolina at the end of this month. We will collect winter items and toiletries for the victims. The items needed are hats, gloves, socks, blankets, paper towels, cleaning rags, and hot hands.
This drive will be a tribe competition, and the tribe that collects the most items will win a prize. The Community Service students will collect the items in the morning and at lunch. The items collected will be housed in boxes and counted at the end of the day.
Just a reminder that 7th & 8th grade boys basketball tryouts begin on Monday. Your student must be registered at https://pacifichs-ar.rschooltoday.com to participate. Please email Coach Hillhouse if you have any questions or need more information.

Riverbend Middle School Ambassadors recently attended the Franklin County Teen Drug Summit. Hearing firsthand from people who have experienced the consequences of poor decisions, such as driving under the influence or struggling with addiction, had a powerful impact. Events like these not only emphasize the importance of making responsible choices but also demonstrate how those choices can have lasting effects on their own futures and on the people around them. It was a valuable experience for the students, helping them to reflect on the significance of their actions today in shaping their future outcomes.

🚍 Bus Safety Awareness 🚍
Let's keep our kids safe as they head to and from school! Whether you’re a driver, a student, or a parent, bus safety is everyone’s responsibility. Here are some key tips:
🛑 For Drivers:
Stop for school buses – Never pass a stopped bus with flashing lights.
Slow down in school zones – Be mindful of children crossing streets.
Stay alert – Avoid distractions and keep an eye out for kids near bus stops.
🎒 For Students:
Stand back – Stay at least 10 feet away from the curb while waiting.
Cross safely – Always wait for the driver’s signal and look both ways before crossing.
Stay seated – Remain seated while the bus is in motion and keep the aisles clear.
👪 For Parents:
Teach safety rules – Make sure your children know how to get on and off the bus safely.
Set a good example – Show kids the importance of paying attention to traffic and following bus rules.
Together, we can ensure that every school day starts and ends safely. 🚌✨
All parents, students, staff, & community members are invited to learn more about the initial design for a new 7th & 8th grade Middle School this Tuesday, October 22nd at Riverbend Middle School.
It's National School Bus Safety Week. Please drive safely around our buses, as they are transporting the most important resource in #MVNation - our students!
