Awards and Celebrations
Students are celebrated at River Bend Middle School throughout the school year. Every quarter is an honor roll celebration based on report card grades. Also, there is an end of year celebration for overall A/B honor roll and specific awards in content areas. Students are given lanyards, which throughout the year they can earn pins to add to their lanyard. Students are also able to earn medals and plaques throughout the year from staff. Some grade levels also participate in Free Seat Friday. This is where students are allowed to sit at any table within their team in the cafeteria for lunch.
Teachers are celebrated throughout the school year. Weekly shout outs are in the principal’s weekly message to the community, as well as in an email to staff. The staff Climate Committee organizes monthly morale events to help demonstrate teacher appreciation. In past years, the committee organized a staff Easter egg hunt, secret Santa, and a thankfulness activity. The River Bend staff enjoys healthy competition, so activities where they are competing, they have the most fun.
River Bend also has celebrations that are enjoyable for both teachers and students. During the year there are Friday Fun Days where students are rewarded for good behavior and performance with free time in the auditorium, which takes place after school where family members are invited to come play as well. River Bend also has pep rallies and dances. Teachers enjoy the dances, too; they have fun decorating and cleaning up before and after the dance.
