39-Minute Walk was in full swing at Riley School. We have raised over $3,000 for the Pink Socs Cancer Foundation. Our students did an amazing job representing Riley School by walking, chanting and wearing pink during this Day of Service activity.

Day of Service 2023 was a giant success! Our student council members took lunch and served it to local healthcare workers in the community. Our students did a great job decorating the room and serving the staff members.

Good morning Riley Parents, Guardians and Staff, All activities have been moved back outside today. Although the air quality forecast for today was to lower to an unsafe level for sensitive individuals - middlesex county /South Plainfield has lowered beyond the prediction to the moderate level - therefore all outside activities moved indoors for the day of service - will now take place outside! If your child has a medical concern resulting from the air quality level at moderate - please contact the school nurse or main office. Thank you. Mrs. T. Grier-DuPiche

Good Evening Riley’s Parents and Guardians, I have several important reminders for tomorrow’s Day of Service: 1. The 39-Minute Walk will take place inside the building. The students and staff will walk several laps inside the gymnasium and hallway. 2. LUNCH- No worries for lunch tomorrow. Lunch will be provided. ALL STUDENTS will receive lunch tomorrow (either pizza, grab n’ go bag lunch, or they may bring in their own lunch when they arrive to school in the morning). 3. 39-MINUTE WALK FOR BREAST CANCER: If you haven’t done so already, please make a donation to the 39 minute walk tomorrow. Send in the name or names of anyone you would like us to walk in honor of or in memory of. Remember together we ARE the cure! 4. Safety Concern & Capacity: Unfortunately, being that the walk will take place inside the building due to the air quality conditions, parents will not be allowed to join us in the walk. We do not have enough spatial capacity to have everyone walking in the gym and throughout the hallways. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Mrs. T. Grier-DuPiche

Our Student also have created their own multicultural dolls that are displayed in our hallway.

Our teachers and students have been hard at work learning about different countries and creating door displays to represent all they learned! Students will be able to walk around door to door and 'tour the world'. Thursday: Diversity Circus Assembly! Students will be able to learn the importance of accepting differences and embracing their uniqueness in our fun assembly. Classroom teachers have also been preparing a class puzzle piece to add to our "pieces of Riley" puzzle board on display in the hallway. Friday: Parent volunteers have donated their time and expertise to teach our students about different cultures and heritages. These parents will have booths set up that our students will be able to visit throughout the day with their classroom teacher. We are so excited for our students to experience all the fun and wonder here at Riley School. Special thank you to the PTSO for providing the dolls for our students, Mrs. DuPiche for coordinating our events, Mrs. Hutchison for planning and preparation, and to all of our staff and students for the wonderful work that went into the participation activities!
