Rivermen Clubhouse kids were sure glad to be back together this week. In January you think of snowmen yet. This afternoon the kids had fun making a cookie look like a melting snowman. They all had a great time showing and eating their cookie.
Happy New Year!

"Does Handwashing Really Matter???" That was the question Nurse Katie asked the 5th and 6th graders last week. To find out the answer we rolled up our sleeves and did an experiment! Using agar plates (generously donated by Advent Health) we tested clean hands, dirty hands and a few other surfaces. We discussed the scientific method: observe/question, hypothesize, experiment, evaluate and conclude.
We concluded that (while not perfect), clean hands are MUCH less germy than dirty hands. SCIENCE IS COOL!!!!

Good afternoon. After checking a number of our district traveled roads, we have made the determination that all evening activities will be canceled. This includes all practices and the middle school boys’ basketball game. This also includes the winter formal that was scheduled for this evening. We are already working on options for rescheduling the winter formal and when those plans are final, we will share that information out. Thanks, and have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
