Indy Snack Attack
Riverside Intermediate School is excited to announce the continuation of a program that will benefit students right here at Riverside. We will be partnering with Indy Snack Attack - a local non-profit organization designed to help kids fight hunger. Indy Snack Attack will provide RSI students in need with a disposable sack full of snacks to take home every Friday to help get them through the weekend. The sacks are filled with individually wrapped non-perishable snack items. Examples of non-perishable snack items are: packages of cheese and crackers, cook-ies, Goldfish crackers, granola bars, pudding cups, Pop Tarts, instant oatmeal, microwave popcorn, fruit cups, raisins and express mac-n-cheese.
If you would like your student to receive a snack bag each Friday, please contact our 5th Grade Counselor, Jen-
nifer Smith,[email protected]. Riverside Intermediate will be holding a snack food drive later in the year to help out our fellow students and Indy Snack Attack. For more information about Indy Snack Attack, go to www.indysnackattack.org or email ques-tions to [email protected].
Thank you for your help in supporting our students, neighbors and community!
Be on the lookout for things RSI can use in the makerspace. We are looking for things you no longer
need or use. Legos, snap circuits, little bits, OSMO parts, ozobots, or any electronic pieces, wrapping paper/paper
towel cardboard rolls...anything we can use to make something else.
Please send the "stuff" to the library where it can become our "treasure"

5th and 6th Grade Families:
HSE has once again partnered with Creating Positive Relationships (CPR) to deliver a developmental health curriculum for 5th grade parents and 6th grade students. · CPR lessons are not taught in 5th grade. Instead, a parent information session will be offered to sup-port these conversations at home. The Parent Seminar for 5th grade families will be on Thursday, No-vember 30th from 6:30-7:30 in the RSI Cafeteria. · CPR lessons are taught in your child’s 6th, 7th and 8th grade PE/Wellness classes, and will take place during the second semester in 6th grade. At the parent support meeting, you will learn strategies to begin parenting conversations that help your child navigate the changes that occur physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially during puberty. While this evening is designed for 5th grade families specifically, all families are welcome. In grades 6-8 students will receive CPR lessons taught in your child's PE/Wellness class. In these lessons, students are taught about reproduction and what to expect as they progress through puberty. They will learn about physical, mental, emotional, and social maturity. Students will receive booklets with helpful information to be shared with their families. For more detailed information about each 6th Grade lesson, please listen to this parent webinar: https:// www.cpr4teens.org/parents/webinar-info/
Many questions will be answered at the parent session and specific content is covered in the webinar. We would be happy to answer any further questions you might have after the meeting. 6th grade par-ents - please contact your child’s PE teacher for support with your questions (Adam Vincent – [email protected] or Jeff Johnson – [email protected]). 5th grade parents may contact the 5th grade counselor, Jennifer Smith ([email protected]) with questions regarding the parent sup-port meeting.

Join Club C5- A club where EVERYONE is welcome!
Come join us for Club C5 where we will be celebrating culture, character, courage and changing the world! This club will meet approximately one Friday morning a month in Mrs. Finn’s music room. What do the 5 “C’s” mean? Celebrate- have fun, recognize, honor, to make known publicly Culture- learning about the behaviors and characteristics of a particular social, ethnic or age group. Think about what makes you and your family special. What language do you speak? What traditions and beliefs do you have? Do you enjoy special foods and wear clothing to represent your family or history? Culture can include the ways a group of people live their daily lives. The fact that there are different cultures found throughout the globe is what makes our world so wonderful! Character- Character is who we are even when no one is watching. Having GOOD character means doing the right thing just because it is right to do what is right.
Courage- being brave as you meet new experience and difficult situations. Being courageous can be tough. We will learn how to have courage through tough times. Changing the world- How can we make the world a better place? We will explore how we can help make a positive impact in our school, community and world. Each meeting will cover different topics which will be shared on the announcements prior to the date. All meetings will begin at 6:30 A.M. Since the club will be meeting in Mrs. Finn’s music room, you may drop off your child in the back of the building by the tennis courts. Please email Lisa Finn at [email protected] or Kristyn Hamm at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to be involved in some way or would be interested in sharing at a meeting about your culture or a story of character and courage.
