💙 Prom Weekend Gratitude 💙 Prom weekend was an incredible success, and it truly took a village to make it happen. Thank you to our amazing prom committee and every student who jumped in to help, whether you were creating decorations, setting up, or working behind the scenes. Your creativity and willingness to pitch in made all the difference. A special shout‑out to the Snacklettes for the incredible desserts that made our massive dessert bar possible, you absolutely wowed everyone! And to the prom workers who gave up their Saturday to serve and clean: you did something truly special for your classmates, and you were amazing at everything you did. And finally, a huge thank you to Ms. Terri, Ms. Richie, Ms. Jensen, Ms. Donita, Ms. Aubrey, Ms. Paden, and Ms. Laipple, you were the secret sauce that brought it all together. I truly couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. Thank you all for showing exactly what Cyclone teamwork looks like. 🌀💙 — Ms. Heater

Walking is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your health—no gym required. Just 20–30 minutes a day can boost your heart health, increase circulation, and help lower blood pressure. It’s also great for mental health, reducing stress and improving mood by releasing endorphins. Regular walking supports weight management, strengthens muscles and bones, and can even improve sleep quality. Plus, it’s easy to fit into your routine—whether it’s a quick walk between classes, after meals, or in the evening. Small steps really do add up and our Riverside staff is doing just that!  With 70 members still engaged, we are racking up over 3 MILLION steps each week. Weeks 3 and 4 of our staff step challenge have wrapped up and we aren’t slowing down yet! Week 3 winners: Jonathan Winder, Scot Koranda, Melissa Richie, Bryce Paden, Anthony Nelson, Nicole Jay, Hannah Paden, Tyler Herbster, Tristan Allen, Vicki Wyatt, Connie Phillips, Sara Woodward, Mindy Courtin, Jonathan Hobbs, and Audrey Hansen. Week 4 winners: Jonathan Winder, Scot Koranda, Bryce Paden, Melissa Richie, Misty Lewis, Anthony Nelson, Tristan Allen, Nicole Jay, Connie Phillips, Hannah Paden, Vicki Wyatt, Sara Woodward, Audrey Hansen, Jonathan Hobbs, and Jenny Wendt. The top 5 winners from week 4 were awarded a $5 gift card from the Dairy Barn courtesy of the Riverside Booster Club.
