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 ❤️

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.

Thank you "Red Caboose Christmas Trees" for creating and hanging our beautiful wreath and swags.
We proudly present our December "Riverway Teacher of the Month" to Ms. Brianna!
Ms. Brianna came to Riverway as a college student observing and completing her classroom hours. She had family connections within the school and learned quickly that she preferred what a small school like Riverway had to offer. She started in the E2 classroom in 2013 and has continued in the role while adding Art Learning Leader to her title. She now teaches K-12, taking one class each day. 🩵
Ms. Brianna says "I love working at Riverway for so many reasons and feel a great sense of community among the students, staff and families. I enjoy our small environment and the way we can be flexible in ways larger districts cannot. I appreciate the care and dedication of my coworkers and the attention given to the whole child- far beyond academics. Being able to watch a student grow from kindergarten to graduation is a privilege I don't take for granted. I love our new location and have found the garden is my happy place."
Just a few of the wonderful nominations submitted for her include...
"Whenever I see her in the hallways she waves to me and it's the best part of my day. I miss her as a teacher and she's the best I could ask for." - Emma
"Because she is easy to talk to and always makes me laugh or smile."- Kilena
"She really loves her job! She is always ready to help and comes up with great ideas to help make Riverway better for staff and students." -Jen
Thank you Ms. Brianna for being the wonderful rockstar you are. All of us at Riverway love and appreciate you.
