🌉✨ Our Riversink Elementary 3rd graders put their engineering skills to the test today! Working in teams, students designed and built gumdrop bridges, then challenged their creations to see how many pennies they could hold before collapsing.
This hands-on STEM activity encouraged collaboration, problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking as students explored the principles of design and structure. The excitement grew with every penny added as students cheered on their bridges and learned from both successes and setbacks.
We are so proud of our young engineers for their teamwork, perseverance, and innovative thinking! 💙💛 #RiversinkElementary #STEMLearning #FutureEngineers #HandsOnLearning #ThirdGradeFun #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork
🎨☀️ Bright colors, bold shapes, and lots of creativity filled the art room at Riversink Elementary!
Our talented art teacher, Mrs. Begley, introduced our PreK students to the work of famous artist Henri Matisse as they created beautiful suncatchers inspired by his vibrant use of color and shape. Students explored artistic expression while learning how simple shapes and bright colors can come together to make stunning works of art.
We love seeing our youngest learners develop their creativity, imagination, and confidence through hands-on art experiences. Great job, PreK artists, and thank you, Mrs. Begley, for making learning so colorful and fun! 🌈✨

Joe Budd Conservation visited Riversink today to discuss rocks with second grade. It was a great hands-on science activity to support their unit on the Earth’s Natural Resources.
Look what our Art Club created at their first meeting ! 🎨🏠 Riversink Elementary Art Club students made fantastic 3D paper houses that showcase their creativity and artistic talents. We love seeing our students think outside the box and bring their ideas to life. Way to go, Art Club! 👏✨ #RiversinkElementary #ArtClub #LearningThroughArt #StudentSuccess
