Congratulations to one of our original Rams, Ms. Griff, on her retirement from CUSD! Ms. Griff spent 30 years pouring her heart into teaching, 22 of those years were spent serving our Riverview community. Her unwavering dedication and passion for teaching not only imparted knowledge but also instilled values, curiosity and a love for learning in countless students. Room 8 was a place of encouragement where each child was nurtured and valued. As she steps into a well-deserved retirement, we honor her profound impact on the Riverview community and the countless lives she has touched. ❤️💛💙🐏

During the month of April, Riverview sold t-shirts that were designed by our t-shirt design contest winner, Nese Yilmaz, for Autism Acceptance month. We earned over $600 on t-shirt sales to be given to our local EPU Children’s Center in Fresno. Our Riverview PTC contributed to this amount to make it an even $1000 donation! Mrs. Dettman took Nese and a group of our leadership students to deliver the check to the EPU Children’s Center today where they were also given a tour of the facility. Thank you to our PTC and all of our community members who purchased a t-shirt - we are so proud to be able to give back to such an important local organization!
