Riverside Middle

Our GT Music Riverside Singers continued spreading Holiday cheer this week with a trip to Dominion Senior Living and Townville Elementary. They also enjoyed great hospitality from Joes New York Pizza!

The Riverside Singers were visited today (all the way from Washington state!) by Joe and Jan Greco- advocates for the Peter R Marsh Grant that RMS Chorus has applied to and received for the last four years! This generous grant is one of their biggest sources of funding for the school year, and Riverside Singers are incredibly grateful to the Grecos and the foundation for recognizing the need for funding of our continuously growing choral program!

Any boys interested in playing tennis for PHS this spring, please meet with the coaches in the gym during you lunch on Monday!

It was such a hit- we had to bring it back!
