Congratulations to our 8th grade band students for their 1 rating at the Union Band Festival today. Several students also earned 1 and 2 ratings on solos and ensembles.

Students in Ms. Miles' 2nd Trimester Digital Media class studied photo subjects and the elements of a photography. As a culminating activity, students took a photo of students and/or teachers and created a background for the picture. We then asked faculty and staff to choose their favorites. The top 4 photos pictured below will be displayed throughout the building.

Look at what is happening this week at Riverbend.

8th grade Advanced Art Studio Class at Riverbend collaborated with teachers to beautify the building. Students get to interview a teacher and work with them to create a unique tile design just for their space in the classroom. Students are responsible for sketching, interviewing, collaborating and creating the ceiling tile artwork. Students work very hard to add a piece of art that will last during the years to come. Great job by all students.

This morning we held our annual Staff vs. Boys Basketball game. Our boys played hard but were no match for the staff. Check out some of the highlights from today's games.

This morning 44 Riverbend 7th and 8th graders were recognized for demonstrating the Pillar of Responsibility. We are proud of all of our students!
