We are #202proud of River View Elementary School fourth-grader and Boy Scout Nathan Mottl, who spearheaded a Treat for Troops initiative at River View. He pitched the idea to Principal Kelly Gregoire, created a flyer, and promoted the collection during daily announcements. The River View community did not disappoint! Nathan collected more than 150 pounds to be sent to current military members and veterans!
Bonnie McBeth Learning Center preschoolers at Ridge Elementary School had their very own Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 20 and 21.
