Green Up Day May 5 2012

Monday, 14 May 2012 20:24 | Posted by Mark Ostrom |

The first Green Up Day was on April 18, 1970. Green Up Day started in Vermont, but recently other states and countries have been joining in on celebrating Green Up Day. Each year around the first week of May, we fill up as many green garbage bags as we can, with litter. 2012 was our third year joining Vermonters in greening up Vermont.

We had a small group this year; four Students and three adults, but we did a ton of work. We collected 12 bags of litter, and two bags worth of recyclable material.

There is so much litter out there, it is impossible to pick it all up. The litter that lies close to rivers and streams eventually makes it's way to the ocean. Plastic debris causes a major threat to marine life, such as sea turtles and sea lions.

Thanks to all of those who participated in cleaning around Riverside this year. It is important that we all do our part in reducing the amount of plastic litter. Green Up Day is one of Vermont's great traditions, that I am proud to be a part of.

Another Successful Food Drive at RMS

This year the RMS Student Council continued the annual tradition of collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the food shelf at the Springfield Family Center. The students set a school wide goal of 2,000 items during a 5 day food drive the week before the holiday break and were able to exceed their goal with a final count of 2,196 items. Student Council, made up of twenty three 6th, 7th and 8th graders, brainstormed incentives for their peers to collect these items. At a school-wide assembly on the morning of December 23rd students witnessed one of their teachers in a tutu, got to spray teachers hair bright and crazy colors and channeled their inner Simon Cowell as judges of their teachers performances during "Riverside's Got Talent". Everyone then made their way to the gym where Joan Cioffi and Larry Partridge's advisory groups organized a staff versus student dodgeball fundraiser resulting in a $371.00 donation to the Springfield Humane Society. Riverside Student Council is very proud of the school community for all of the donations that they were able to provide to the community and looks forward to continuing this tradition next year.

Riverside Fall Foliage

During last month's Eureka, Mr. Borden held a photography workshop. Eureka is a short class that changes every month. It provides students the opportunity to get extra practice on required skills such as typing or arithmetic, or to try out new things like photography, animation, gardening, or pottery.

In the Photoshop Eureka, students submitted photos of the breath taking fall foliage at Riverside to be displayed on the school website.
