Local sewers join forces with Secondary students to assemble quilt squares decorated at Riverway's 25th anniversary gathering. Students learned how to make blocks and rows, back the quilt, and bind it all together with guidance from some amazing volunteers Cindy, Nancy and Laurie. Opportunities like these are made possible by community helpers and we are so grateful for their interest and support of our students.
We are so grateful to be recipients of Winona County Master Gardeners Grant dollars! With this funding we are able to purchase items that support our students environmental learning and enjoyment!
The Master Gardener Volunteer program is an educational program created by the University of Minnesota Extension to share researched gardening best practices that promote healthy landscapes, healthy foods and healthy lives.

Let's take a moment to celebrate Riverway's Social Worker, Shelby Ritter!
We are so thankful for how she helps us solve problems, hold us to a high standard, challenges us to be kind humans, believes in our capacity to grow, gives us tools to change, demonstrates joy and playfulness and cheers us on EVERY DAY.
Ms. Shelby sees the value in our differences and beauty in our scribbles.
One of her favorite books is "I'm Not Just a Scribble" by Diane Alber. Take a look/listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKbnWVoUvks&t=1s

Our 11th and 12th graders spent the day in Onalaska, WI at the Build My Future Event. Build My Future is an annual, interactive career fair connecting local high school students with hands-on, skilled trades opportunities. 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!

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.
