Yesterday, we celebrated the fact that we, as a school, saved the environment from 10,000 plastic bottles! When our drinking fountain hit 10,000, we stopped everything and had a dance party and gave away reusable water bottles.






We enjoyed hosting a "Safety Day" at Riverway yesterday for our Primary program. We had some guest visitors from Winona Fire Department, Winona Area Ambulance and Winona County Sheriff's Department who spent time with our students explaining the importance of their jobs how the students and their families can keep themselves safe.
These amazing humans couldn't say no when one of our 4th graders invited them to play color tag with the E2 classroom during P.E.
Thank you to the Winona Area First Responders for spending the afternoon with our school and making such a positive impact on our community. 🩵











Congratulations to Oliver Kirchoff in Secondary 1 for winning the flyer competition for Riverway's fall Bizarre Bazaar.
Make sure you save the date for this highly anticipated event Friday, November 22.



One of the wonderful opportunities Riverway students get to enjoy is our co-op with Cotter sports. Yesterday, Cotter appreciated the girls seniors on the soccer team which honored one of our very own, Emma Hatter. 🩵 Congratulations on a wonderful season, Emma. Keep being the positive human you are. We can't wait to see the amazing things you'll accomplish.


And that's a wrap, folks!
Our first Saturday school of the '24-'25 school year is complete. To say this one was extra special would be an understatement. We were lucky enough to have one of the amazing humans who started Riverway, share the story of its beginning with the current students, families and staff.
Special thank you to Laurie Krause for creating such a special place, 25 years ago. 🩵








Kindergarten art students have been mastering their shape identification and creation. This week, we had play-dough to help us practice!








One of the best things about Riverway is when we get to join our Primary and Secondary programs and have reading buddies on a random sunny ☀️ afternoon. Our hearts are full. 🩵🫶🏻

Our last Whitewater Wednesday at summer school was a blast!
We started the morning with secondary students leading activities for primary, then swam to our heart's content. ☀️🌊🥽
Nature surprised us when a water snake swam up to the students so they could observe it, then turned around and kept to its business. 🐍🏖️🌴
