Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Annual Spring Sprint! We loved dancing to music by Officer York and watching Mr. U.'s Epic Inflatable Race where we learned slow and steady wins the race. We are so happy when so many families come and join us at school! We love our school community!







We can't thank you enough for supporting our FUN FAIR! A huge, gigantic, enormous THANK YOU to our fantastic PTA and all the volunteers who made this event happen. It takes hundreds of hours to make this event a reality and they do it every year! We had a blast and appreciate all you do! See you next year!

Don't miss it! Tomorrow, 5/9 is our Annual Spring Sprint! Families are welcome to join us as we take a FUN RUN around the school. Race starts at 2:45, but our parking lots will close at 2:30 p.m. for safety. Be sure to stay after for Mr. U's Epic Inflatable Race! We heard it involves staff members, and WE CAN'T WAIT! See you then!


Our students sure do love Mr. U! In honor of Principal's Day, Mrs. Patterson's class drew pictures of our fearless leader!





In case you didn't know, 3rd grade takes more standardized tests than any other grade in elementary school. Those teachers and students work so hard! Mrs. Patterson's 3rd graders took a well-deserved brain break to make these jellyfish. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, you guys got this!


Happy Principal's Day to the captain of our ship! We love Mr. U and all he does for our school!


FUN FAIR! FUN FAIR! FUN FAIR! We are so excited!
We are ready for you! Join us THIS Friday, May 2 at 5:30 p.m. here at River Valley! Fun! Games! Food! Silent Auction! Inflatables! Come before it ends at 8 p.m.

Mrs. Patterson's 3rd graders are amazing artists! Van Gogh would be so jealous!

More 5th grade math work! This project is called Figure Me Out. Students have to think creatively and use backward design to show a deeper understanding of some 5th grade math concepts. Look out middle school, here we come!



It was T day in kindergarten's Backwards ABC Countdown to the last day of school and Deandre dressed up like our favorite teacher, Mr. U!

Students in Mr. Walker's 4th grade class are using what they learned about symmetry in math to create art. Each student began by writing their name and through a process of folding and tracing, created artwork displaying radial symmetry. Great job Eagles! Keep soaring!



A favorite River Valley Tradition is back again! Join us May 2nd from 5:30-8 pm here at River Valley!
