Grade 6 Outdoor Ed

This year the grade six class went to Eagles Nest Ranch for our outdoor education. This was a one night stay with many activiites built into our day. We were able to Rock Climb, take Archery lessons, play capature the flag, create new friends through TRIBES activities, go on a hill hike, participate in a scavanger hunt. We had a great time and came home exhausted.

May 9 Open House

Senior Bell Choir

Ms. Klaudt conducts the Senior Bell Choir. These girls are from grade 4,5,6 . Students performed at the open house but they also participate in the Annual Christmas Concert.  This choir is a treat to hear and Riverside School is so blessed to have such talented students and teachers.

Bring Back the Music- Strings Orchestra

This year Riverside School started our first year with the Bring Back the Music program. This is a partnership between Elm Stree, Riverside and The Medicine Hat College. Students participated in two hours of instruction a week with the College instructors. Students have come so far and we cannot wait to continue this again next year. Thank you to the instructors, MHC, Dr. Roy Wilson's family for all the support.

Our first ever Entrepreneur Fair

Last night we held out Open House to celebrate Education Week. This year we tried something new with the addition of the Entrepreneur Fair. Students from grade 4,5,6 participated in this part of event. After students chose what kind of product they wanted to make and sell they developed a business plan, did market research, set prices, made change, created advertising posters and jingles. What a great way to bring the real world into school.

Lap Tops

We traded inour computer lab for Lap Tops. Students and teachers are enjoying having the computers come to them rather than the traditional computer lab. All of the grade have used the "COW" computers on wheels. Research skills are being worked on with all grade.

Telethon- Bring Back the Music

Thanks Ms. Stuber for helping us with our hair.

This year we had twenty five of our students take advantage of the Bring Back the Music Progam. This program is a partnership between the Medicine Hat College Conservatory of Music and Riverside School. Students received two hours of strings instruction a week at no cost. The students did an amazing job of practicing and were the star of the Medicine Hat School District 76 Telethon. We need to thank the College as well as the The Wilson Family for making this happen. We have one more performance- May 9 at our open house. Thank you to the instructors from the College for making this venture a very enjoyable learning experience for all. We cannot wait until next year. If we were this good in one year imagine what another year can do.

Science Fair 101

 This year some of the students took part in Science Fair 101. We had some experts from the Medicine Hat College help us with our projects. Several groups went to the Regional Fair at the Medicine Hat College and made it into the second round of judging. Congrats. to Shey and Sayla as well as Addision and Metayha.
