Good afternoon Riverbend community!

Updates for the week of 26 February 2024

From your School Council

Casino

Funds are in from our 2023 Casino… $80,843.73 was raised!! Our Casino was a huge success, we raised over $80 000 to benefit the teaching and learning at Riverbend School. Fundraisers are not possible without a great group of parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors willing to volunteer their time to help bring in revenue for our school, we sincerely thank you for contributing your time.

Dare to Care Anti Bullying Presentation

We had a great in-person family night on Feb 5!. A great night of learning and sharing! All parents/guardians are encouraged to sign-up and access all the modules to continue this learning asynchronically.

Feb. 28 2024 - Pink Shirt Day

Everyone is encouraged to wear pink. Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. It has since been recognized annually worldwide as a day to stand against bullying. Pink Shirt Day encourages Albertans to be inclusive, welcoming and supportive with colleagues, clients, friends and family. Building healthy relationships is one of the best ways to prevent bullying and create safe environments.

Have a great week!

Shaida and Mike
