We felt compelled to celebrate and appreciate her because she means SO VERY MUCH to staff, students and families at the school. Kids created and delivered flowers, left warm messages on her phone, did skits to show "What Julie Does" and left little treats and notes on her desk throughout the day.
Julie - we hope you know how much we love and appreciate you.
3 cheers for a really spectacular lady!
Phoebe is so kind, works hard, and demonstrates all of Riverway’s values. She is always one of the first people to offer to help others and shares her joyful smile everyday.
Great job, Phoebe! Thank you for being a wonderful human. :)
Trips like these build connections and expand mind-sets in the most amazing ways. We are grateful for the Riverway staff chaperones, Osprey Wild´s leaders, and the students themselves for making this such a memorable and important experience.
Christian always has a smile on his face. He is kind and helpful to all students in the classroom. He works very hard in class to get his assignments done, but most of all he doesn't give up when something is hard. We appreciate Christian's positive attitude and smile. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for being a wonderful human, Christian!
