🧩 Red Ribbon Week Fun! 🧩
This year's theme is “Life is a Puzzle—Stay Drug Free!” Today our students took on the cup stacking challenge, building a pyramid using 10 cups and then collapsing them into a single stack.! 🙌
It was an awesome mix of teamwork, laughter, and problem-solving—all while celebrating the importance of making positive choices. ❤️ #RedRibbonWeek #LifeIsAPuzzle #StayDrugFree #RiverbendMiddle

What a perfect way to end our Cross Country season!
These amazing student-athletes have worked hard all season long, consistently making deposits into their "running bank." Today, they cashed it all in—and it showed. Every single runner gave it their all, and I couldn't be prouder of their effort, growth, and determination.
We brought home four medals, including a gold, and celebrated some outstanding team achievements:
🏅 Girls Team – 2nd place overall, just two points away from first out of five teams!
🏅 Boys Team – 4th place overall out of seven teams, a strong showing with grit and teamwork.
🏃♂️ Boys Team Highlights:
Landon Harrison – 9th place – 12:53
Benjamin Ganter – 22nd place – 14:06
Charlie Christian – 27th place – 14:22
Miles Vago – 28th place – 14:27
Dax Short – 38th place – 14:52
Cayden Adair – 39th place – 14:54
Jonathan Sitton – 44th place – 15:10
Grant Sudduth – 60th place – 16:39
Harley Short – 62nd place – 16:49
🏃♀️ Girls Team Highlights:
