Look at what is happening this week at Riverbend.
Our very own Riverbend PE Teacher, Melanie Missey is a devoted wife to Danny Missey, a loving mom to 2-year-old Tatum, & Pacific’s Head Girls Basketball Coach. She has been courageously battling Stage 2B Breast Cancer since her diagnosis on April 14th. She completed 6 rounds of chemo on August 16th, right before the start of the school year. September 13th she underwent surgery to hopefully remove the tumors. But her journey doesn't stop there, she will have several weeks of radiation and finish off with 12 weeks of maintenance injections.
To remind her that NO-ONE fights alone and that WE stand with her… please save the date for a special benefit event in support of Melanie Missey on the National Breast Cancer Awareness Day, October 13th. Stay tuned for more information, which will be shared soon. All proceeds will go towards supporting Melanie in her courageous battle against breast cancer. Let's come together as a community and show our love and support for Melanie and her family.

Attention all 8th Grade Students:
Pacific High School has invited us to attend their musical “Annie”. To be eligible to attend you must bring back your signed permission slip and $2 to Mrs. Schultz by Wednesday, November 1st. You also must not have any OSS for the 1st trimester or ISS during the weeks of October 23 and October 30, 2023. You must also have NO F’s!!! Students that stay back will be working on MAP packets to prepare for that assessment.
Broadway musical “Annie” is based on the “Little Orphan Annie” comic strip from the 1920s. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1977, and was made into a popular film in 1982. The story follows Annie, a young orphan who is taken in by billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Warbucks sets out to find Annie’s parents, but instead finds himself falling in love with the little girl. ” Annie” is a heartwarming story of love, family, and hope.
If your child has lost their permission slip, use this link to fill one out.
