Athletics - See updates on our Athletics Page
It was wonderful to catch up with all the families in attendance at last week’s Meet The Teacher evening! Our school was hopping with the amazing energy that truly sets our school apart from others. The constructive, positive partnerships we enjoy with Riverside families are so beneficial to our students and their achievement both personally and academically.
Our athletics season is off to a great start with our Cross Country, Soccer, and Basketball teams up and running. Riverside student athletes represent themselves and our school very well each and every day. Let’s Go Ravens!
Our first School Council meeting of the school year will take place tomorrow evening in our Learning Commons. All Riverside families are welcome to attend and your attendance does not commit you to any work or joining any committees! Come by and get involved in our school, make great connections, and join a group that supports our students in many exciting ways!

Terry Fox Run – September 18
Our school is excited to take part in the 45th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Terry started a marathon against cancer. Together, we can help finish it. The run will take place on Thursday, September 18th on the Riverside Field. Elementary (K-6) will run from 12:45-1:05 and Junior High will run from 1:40-2:10. Parents are also welcome to attend.
We hope you will join us and support this cause by donating to our Terry Fox School Run fundraising page at: https://schools.terryfox.ca/RiversideSchool Students are also encouraged to bring a “Toonie for Terry” to their homeroom teacher sometime between September 15th and September 19th. Thank you!
As always, thank you for your support.
Steve Radder, Principal
Riverside School
