In honor of Dr. Seuss and his birthday on March 2nd, Renaissance is having a Read the Most from Coast to Coast program.  We will be opening up the fifth grade computer lab that morning before school starts, so students can take their tests early if they'd like.  Renaissance is trying to beat last years record of 2,177,586 AR tests taken in one day!  If you would like more information, you can go to http://www.renlearn.com/readthemost/
 
 
Our annual book swap is February 27-March 2.  Students can bring in their gently used books to earn "book bucks" to shop for new books on Friday, March 2nd.  Students will be able to bring in their books from Monday, February 27th through Wednesday, February 29th. We ask that the books are in the grade level of fifth & sixth graders.  We will not accept picture or adult books. The library conducts this as a recycling event, but also as a tribute to Dr. Seuss' s birthday on Friday, March 2nd.  We need parent volunteers to help mark the books and to run the actual shopping day on Friday.  Please contact Amy Mahan at 574-936-3787 extension 3206 or email her at amahan@plymouth.k12.in.us .  Thank you for your support of this program.

Riverside Intermediate School has been recognized by the Indiana Middle Level Education Association with their “Schools to Watch” Award.   To be considered for this award, the school has to meet the following criteria: 1) Achieve academic excellence; 2) Be developmentally responsive to unique student needs; 3)Be socially equitable, democratic, and fair; and 4) Have strong structures for learning in place.

Schools who wish to be considered for the award submit an application to the state organization.  Schools with strong applications are then selected for a site visit by the state's Schools to Watch Award committee.  The site visit includes interviews with parent, student, staff, and community groups.

This 2011-2012 school year, three schools were selected for site visits.  Riverside's visit was on January 18th.  As part of the recognition for this award, a community celebration will be held later this spring and educational leaders from the state will be in attendance with the local school community. Also, a few staff members from Riverside will attend the national recognition ceremony in Washington, D.C. from June 21-23, 2012 to be recognized with representatives from the other Schools to Watch winners from other states.

The 5th grade team made Riverside history last night by winning both the A and B game at the Coop last night.  They are the first undefeated team in Riverside history. The A team went in with an 18-15 lead at half, then took control of the game outscoring Laville 15 to 6 in the second half.  The boys won 33 -21.   Way to go boys.

The B team continued domination as they jumped out to a 23 - 0 lead by halftime.  The Rockets stay undefeated and winning 37 to 2.  Great job boys.

Coach Premetz and Coach Knebel would like to thank all the boys for their hard work this season.  It paid off.  The coaches are very proud of you.
