Greetings,

It is only a few days before winter break. The festivities of dressing up, hot chocolate, donuts and such have happened almost every day. The students and staff are all having a blast, but also extremely tired. It is always a struggle right before break to keep classes working on academics and calm. It reminds me how hard holidays can be for some. All the fun can also cause stress. For both the children and the adults. From dealing with different schedules at school and home, to stress from financial worries and traveling. It can be from something as simple as feeding everyone while they are home from school to everything looking different (decorations). It is also hard when you have lost someone. First holidays are the hardest, but all the ones after that are hard as well, just in a different way. I found a worksheet to help a little with the added stress. There are different breathing techniques to use when everything gets overwhelming. They work for children and adults alike. If you would like a copy of this worksheet, please email me (kcarr@riverwalkacademy.com). 

Please insert the breathing document here.

I hope you all have a wonderful winter break and holidays. 

Hugs,

Ms. Carr

Hello Pride!

We are almost to the Holiday break, the students are enjoying the 5 days of Christmas spirit week! Please make sure your student has turned in all work for the end of the semester. We look forward to an amazing second semester. I want to wish you all a happy and relaxing Holiday season. We look forward to seeing all of our students back in January!!

Warmly,

Christy Dempsey

Happy Sunday!

We made it through our last full week of school for the year, woohoo! This week we had some more testing and again, our students put in lots of hard work. We also were able to hear a presentation from the South Carolina Governor's School which was fun to hear about. This could be a great opportunity for those interested in the arts! I was also able to attend the basketball game on Tuesday and was proud to watch our guys working hard. It was a tough fight and they gave it their best! We sure do have some rockstar students here at Riverwalk.

Here's what we have going on in the coming week... 

Things to note: 

-11th and 12th graders, don't forget to check out our biweekly newsletter called "The Upperclassmen Tribune." This will give you great resources regarding college, scholarships, and careers. 

-9th graders, IGP (individualized graduation plan) meetings are going to start up in January. Parents, you should have received an email this past Monday where you will be able to sign up for a time slot to meet about your student.  

Quote of the Week:

“Have faith in your journey. Everything had to happen exactly as it did to get you where you're going next."

-Mandy Hale

Sincerely,

Ms. Menges
