Today is International Dot Day, a celebration of creativity, courage, and making your own unique mark, inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.
Our Pre-K students celebrated by turning a simple dot into a picture, decorating their work with dot stickers, and creating colorful dot art on coffee filters. 🎨
One little dot led to so many big ideas! We love seeing our youngest students create, explore, and make their mark!

The results are in… Rivercrest has bacteria! 🦠😂
Our Biology students swabbed locations all over the school, and every location we tested showed bacterial growth!
Don’t worry—bacteria are everywhere, and their presence doesn’t mean a surface is dirty or unsafe. That was part of the lesson!
Students got to see firsthand just how common microorganisms are in our everyday environment while collecting real samples and analyzing real results.
Final results:
Students learned something ✅
Bacteria grew ✅
Teachers slightly concerned about ever touching anything again ✅

Mrs. Lancaster, RJHS librarian, has a new club this year! Here's some feedback from today's meeting: Crocheting is pure, tangible magic—allowing you to build three-dimensional art with nothing more than a single hook and a length of yarn. Our first crochet class is in the books!! We’re learning! We got this!
🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Shannon Wynne and our K–2 Science Lab!
Mrs. Wynne is the August recipient of Rivercrest’s Best All Around and will be recognized at this month’s Board meeting.
She is being honored for her innovation, dedication, and efforts in creating the K–2 Science Lab. Her work inspires curiosity, encourages hands-on learning, and helps build a lifelong love of discovery in our youngest Colts.
Mrs. Wynne also received a $50 gift card donated by Big River Steel. We appreciate Big River Steel for helping us recognize the great work happening across Rivercrest.
