Riverside Holds 'I Love My School Day'

By Julie Natiuk, March 19, 2015

Students, teachers and staff at Riverside Christian School in Washougal, Wash., participated in "I Love My School Day" on Jan. 28.

The kids spent the week prior to this sharing with their families, friends and community how proud they were of their school. On the event day, kids, teachers and staff cleaned around the school for two hours by raking leaves, pulling weeds, cleaning windows and planting spring flowers in the window baskets. They were thrilled Oregon Conference education team members Gale Crosby, Carol McLeod and Angela White came and helped with the event.

The school grounds look wonderful. The spirit and feeling of giving back to their school really made the kids excited.
