Last Wednesday, RV Elementary held its annual "Easter at the Elementary". With assistance of a number of MS/HS helpers, our elementary kiddos had a blast with some crafts and fun games. It was a great way to jump start our Easter/Spring break.
Thank you to Ms. Verzani and Ms. Gibson for all their help. It is so wonderful to see the younger and older students working and having fun together.
Please be aware that the Washta and Correctionville grounds will be sprayed over spring break. The track will also be repaired. Please respect the cones that may be sitting around and the yard signs stating that it has been sprayed.

I am so proud to announce that the River Valley School Community School District with the help of its staff, students, and area families was able to raise over $1,500 for the Shoumaker family. We have so many kind and giving souls in our schools and communities! We continue to keep the Shoumaker family in our thoughts!

Last night, I was proud to attend the 2025 Cherokee County Legacy Foundation Awards Banquet. It was held at the Aurelia Community Center. I accepted a check for $5,000 dollars, with that money to be used to improve our elementary outdoor campus and learning space. Plans are in the works to involve our HS FFA to re-landscape some areas of our elementary in Washta.
Thank you to Mrs. Tish Evans for taking the time to write the grant, to Mr. Glienke (pictured), and the entire CCLF board for their generous gift.
We are super excited to get started!!
Good Evening,
This is just a friendly reminder about our fundraiser tomorrow (Wednesday, March 26) to help raise some money for the Shoumaker family. As we now know, Norbert, Dee, and Carson Shoumaker tragically lost their lives in a recent house fire.
Feel free to send a donation of any size with your child tomorrow to either the MS/HS in Correctionville or the elementary school in Washta. With that donation, they can wear a hat to school.
We are also finding out that Carson Shoumaker loved flashy socks, new boots, and cool looking tennis shoes. Therefore, your child is invited to also wear some of their favorite sneakers, boots, and flashy socks. Have them make it an outfit and do your part to help the Shoumaker family. Thanks in advance for your support:)
The students are practicing and getting ready for tonight! You will not find a band concert closer than this one!! Western Valley Conference Honor Band Performance starts at 6 p.m. $6 per person - cash only at the door. Middle School and High School - two separate bands.
