Organized by the La Crosse Area Builders Association, the event showcases careers in construction, manufacturing, welding, and more through direct experience with industry tools and professionals. This year's event gathered more than 1,300 students! This event was amazing and is on the calendar for next year!!

Let's take a moment to celebrate Lizzy & Bella for being a SHINING example of Riverway's Key Principles.

Bella & Lizzy are hard workers. Leading up to the Earth Day event, these two were always on task and could be found busy at a sewing machine or processing materials for shared projects. Their quiet determination was often overlooked because they simply got to work… but I want to recognize the impact they had and have on this community. Thank you BOTH for your willingness to do the little things that have great importance. You and your work matter and we are so appreciative.
Keep it up. THANK YOU!

March 27 was National Scribble Day!

National scribble day is a day for children to embrace creativity, kindness and self expression through art- no matter the skill level; Inspired by the book "I'm not just a scribble", by Diane Alber.

It encourages making art without judgement.
Children's House students added googly eyes and smiles to bring the scribbles to life!

Today was "Julie Day" here at Riverway!
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!

As I sit down to write this post our 11th and 12th graders are driving back from a three night trip to Osprey Wilds in Sandstone, MN. Osprey Wilds is an environmental learning center that also happens to be Riverway´s Charter School Authorizer! While there, students experienced classes and activities having to do with wildlife, ecology culture & history, stewardship, and adventure. Take a look at some of the great moments captured on camera. :)

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!

Secondary 2 students pulled out their puppetry skills and interviewed Children´s House students as geese, frogs, mice, and other fluffy critters. The littles and bigs alike were delighted with the interactions; building connections through play.
