A huge thank you to Junior Auxiliary of South Mississippi County for their generous donation of backpacks and school supplies for our counseling departments at Rivercrest Elementary, Junior High and High School. These items will make a meaningful difference for students who transfer into our district throughout the school year. Your support helps us ensure every Colt has what they need to feel prepared and welcomed. We are so grateful for your partnership!

Rivercrest Basketball Home Games Safety Update 🏀
Beginning this season, all Rivercrest home basketball games will have metal detectors at the entrances. There have been no threats or safety concerns; this is simply an added precaution to help keep our students, staff, and visitors safe.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we continue to provide a welcoming and secure environment for everyone. Rivercrest will always strive to host our visiting teams and spectators with respect and hospitality.

To help with quick entry:
• Arrive a few minutes early
• Avoid bringing large purses or backpacks
• Follow directions from our staff at the gate

Also, please take a moment to review our Rivercrest Spectator Policy, which outlines expectations for sportsmanship and conduct at all athletic events. The policy can be found on www.rivercrestcolts.org under District Information - Athletics or by following this link: bit.ly/3XkzPbk.

Thank you for supporting our Colts and helping us make each game safe and enjoyable for all! ❤️🤍
