Congratulations to Art 3 students Cirus Gonzales and Evie McGill for being this year's Art representatives at the Honda Breakfast. Cirus and Evie have both worked hard and have really developed their artistic ability. They have created several really high quality pieces of art this year. They both put so much into their work and it makes feel so good as teacher when you see a couple of students with the dedication they both have shown this year.
This week Dr. Seuss is on the Loose in Kindergarten!! Today my LITTLE THINGS were excited to share the Wockets they created after listening to Mrs. Davidson read the story There's a Wocket in my Pocket! ❤️💙
Staff Spotlight Day. Today we spotlight Mrs. Burchett. Her endless patience and positive attitude have not gone unnoticed. She is the calm presence that our students need, especially on days when they have had a rough time or a tough week. Your dedication and support make a significant impact on our Pirate family, and we are truly thankful to have you as part of our team.
Thank you for your hard work and for being a source of comfort and encouragement for our students. We appreciate everything you do, and we are grateful for the positive influence you have on our school community.
BIO:
I am a paraprofessional. I have been working at Riverside as a para pro for five years. The first four years I've had the privilege to work in several different classrooms with a lot of different students within our Elementary. As a parapro my job is to help keep students on task in a classroom setting. Some students may require extra guidance, and I assist the classroom teachers to help provide that for our students. I also help monitor students during their breakfast, lunch, and recess. This year my role as a parapro has looked a little different than in the past. This year I have been helping our Intervention Specialists with contacting and scheduling their meetings with our students' parents or guardians. With some of our Intervention team I also help gather some paperwork and deliver the paperwork to students. Anything that I can do for them to help lighten their load! This year I also sit with K-12 students who have to serve in school suspension (ISS). I help these students get their assignments from teachers, help them understand their assignments in order for them to get their classwork completed, help them get their finished classwork returned back to their teachers in a reasonable time in order for them to receive credit.
I have been married to my husband, Travis Burchett, for 21 years. We were both born and raised in this community. We both are Riverside graduates as well. Together we have four boys, Jayden (20), Dylyn (18), Maddax (12), and Preston (10). So, with four boys my hobbies are attending and or watching a lot of football and basketball games.
I love all holidays because this is when we gather with family and friends to play games, eat delicious food, and enjoy each others' company while making memories! I love my job! Everyone here at Riverside is so wonderful to work with. We all truly respect and appreciate one another. Our students and our community are awesome! Once a Pirate, always a Pirate....#Proud to be a Pirate!
Congratulations to our March Seniors of the Month, Hailey Noggler and Ayden Harrell!
