🌟 Silent Auction Winner Experience
Our 5th Grade Silent Auction winners in Ms. Ennis’s class enjoyed a hands-on science experiment led by special guest Mrs. Morgenroth! The students had a fantastic time exploring and learning together.
🎈 “Balloons Over Broadway” in Grade 2
Our second graders worked incredibly hard last week on a STEM project where they designed and created their very own parade balloons. They proudly showcased their amazing creations during their annual Balloons Over Broadway celebration!
📊 First Grade & Kindergarten Data Collaboration
Mr. Spender’s first-grade class has been diving into data collection, graphing, and analysis. This week, they teamed up with Ms. Kuhl’s kindergarten class to put these skills into practice! The first graders created their own survey questions, interviewed the kindergarteners, and graphed the results. They had a great time learning how to gather information, organize it, and interpret their findings.
RVS students continue to shine with creativity, collaboration, and curiosity! 💙📘

so we have confirmation of enough students to make the club feasible this year.
