🎨 The Parkside 6th Graders in Ms. Rich’s class are putting the finishing touch on their clay birdhouses with glaze. We can’t wait to see these colorful creations after they come out of the kiln!
Toot Your Horn, Tuesday!
At Riverview Elementary, we all know the true hero working behind the scenes: our dedicated custodian, Mr. Miller! He is the silent guardian, the watchful protector, and the true Dark Knight of our hallways. While he doesn't wear a cape, he always carries a utility belt full of cleaning supplies. He's constantly swooping in to sweep away danger—from making the cafeteria floor sparkle after spaghetti day, to ensuring the playground is always safe and tidy. Mr. Miller is our clean-up crusader, making sure every corner of Riverview is crime-free (meaning mess-free!).
Thank you, Mr. Miller, for always being the hero this school deserves!

Our Toot Your Horn Tuesday shout-out goes to the one and only Mr. Woyak, a true powerhouse who doesn't just teach but practically drives the entire school community! He must be running on triple-shot espresso to juggle being an amazing teacher, a coach for three different sports, and the person behind the wheel who safely steers our students home as a bus driver. On top of all that, he leads FCA, guiding students with mentorship. Thank you, Mr. Woyak, for always going the extra mile—you are a phenomenal role model and a major league educator!

This student is a bright and polite individual. We can always count on her everyday to lead by example. You'll find her quietly walking through hallways and always asking to hold doors for others. She's dependable and makes good choices in and outside of the classroom. She always speaks kindly to others, asks for help and permission to use things. When she doesn't understand something she calmly asks for more help and is patient with all around her. With all of these qualities in mind, it is with great pleasure that I am nominating Addie Kutschenreuter as Redgranite Elementary's September Student of the Month.
The Wautoma High School AP and Translations Classes and members of the Spanish National Honor Society visited Heartland House yesterday to deliver handmade cards to Eddie Bursack in celebration of her 90th Birthday. Eddie proudly served as a custodian for the Wautoma Area School District for 45 years!
Students from all of Mrs. Peterman’s classes and the FCCLA also helped create the thoughtful cards that brightened Eddie’s day. 🌟💌
Toot Your Horn Tuesday!

Happy Homecoming Week!
In the first couple weeks of school, Mrs. Jackowski could already tell that Beau deserved a student of the month nomination. During lessons, Beau is always sitting still, watching the teacher, and thinking about what he's learning.
During work time, Beau gets started right away, keeps working hard the whole time, and cleans up after himself when he's done. When it's time to work with a partner or group, I know Beau will cooperate with anyone. During playtimes, I see him being a kind friend and showing encouragement to other kids.
Beau is a great example of a kind, safe, and responsible Riverview Elementary School student.
