We at Riverway excitedly announce our February "Teacher of the Month" to Sharon Foss!
Sharon has been the science teacher for grades 7-12 for 16 years, along with being the S3 advisor.
"I enjoy teaching students a variety of topics in science and working with them from 7-12 grade. I look forward to each fall, for our overnight stay at Whitewater State Park, and building a relationship with students outside my classroom. I also feel blessed to take our biannual trip with S3 students to our authorizer, Osprey Wilds in Sandstone MN, for a week of outdoor Environmental Education. I believe my favorite part about working at Riverway is being a part of our graduation ceremony each year, helping students reflect on their time in our community and watching them walk across our stage to start on their new adventure outside our 4 walls."
"I'm thankful for being a part of this community and having amazing coworkers and students to make coming to work enjoyable! I look forward to being part of this community for years to come."
A couple of Sharon's wonderful nominations include-
"Sharon is one of the toughest people I know, all while being kind and considerate. I think it's amazing that she has worked at Riverway for 16 years." -Emma
"Sharon is always there for me when I'm in need, even when I'm mad at her or she's mad at me. She doesn't hold a grudge." -Caden
Thank you Sharon for being the amazing and kind human you are. We all appreciate you more than you know and look forward to your future at Riverway.
Secondary 2 and the kindergartners spent time crafting together today ❤️
Due to extreme weather, all school classes and activities are canceled tomorrow, Jan 21st, 2025.
We happily announce Riverway's January "Teacher of the Month" to Mary Kate!
Mary Kate came to Riverway shortly after she graduated from Winona State University. She has been the middle and high school math teacher since 2017, along with the S1 advisor. She has also served on the Riverway board for 6 years.
Mary Kate says "I am so thankful to work at Riverway Learning Community. I enjoy teaching the students math, life skills, the environment, technology, and more. It is fun to have the students from when they are in 7th grade to 12th grade and see them grow throughout the years. I appreciate the goofy moments that we share and our overnight trip to Whitewater State Park. I would not be the teacher I am today without the great staff that have supported me. We have gone through a move and a remodel together and supported each other through the stressful process. I am looking forward to seeing where we will go from here."
Just a few of the wonderful nominations Mary Kate received includes-
"Whenever I'm in her class she's there to help. I really love her as my teacher and I couldn't ask for a better one." -Val
"She is so clever. She makes math easier to understand. I'm so glad she's my math teacher."-Eva
"I love Mary Kate because she is very positive and works hard. I really admire her math mind and how she carries herself." -Emma
Thank you to Benos Deli for donating a gift certificate to Mary Kate for her dedication to education and thank you Mary Kate for being a positive role model for our students to aspire to.
