Every month we compile a list of students doing great things across the River Region. We have so many talented students in our area. River Region Parents joins with their families and schools to celebrate their achievements!
Pike Road Junior High Cheerleaders Shine
The Pike Road Junior High Cheerleaders won Super Regionals in a recent cheer competition and are headed to state. They have trained and practiced tirelessly since the summer to prepare dance routines and choreograph stunts in addition to preparing for athletic games and pep rallies. They do a fantastic job for school spirit. Congrats ladies on a job well done and good luck at State!
Red Ribbon Week Reality Check at Pike Road High
Mike Atkins, driver’s education teacher at Pike Road High School, partnered with local agencies to give our learners some real life experience. Students wore “beer goggles” and drove a utility vehicle through a short course of orange cones. They could then see how many cones they hit and experience the difficulty and dangers of driving under the influence. It was a fantastic opportunity for our learners.
Thank You for Your Service - with Strings at PRS
During recent assemblies to commemorate Veterans Day, PRS hosted Col. Stephanie Wilson from Maxwell AFB as a guest speaker who motivated students and staff to demonstrate Honor in our daily lives and to work toward being a part of something greater than ourselves. As part of the ceremony, her daughter and a friend performed a violin duet of the National Anthem. Under the direction of Strings Teacher Laura Walters, our learners gave a beautiful rendition for our student body and community members.
Family Thanksgiving Picnic at PRIS
It was a chilly but perfect day for Family Thanksgiving Picnics! Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this such a fun memory for our learners. Shoutout to our awesome CNP workers and PRS Patriot Dining for a delicious Thanksgiving meal!
Pike Road GW Campus Honors Veterans
The GW Campus of Pike Road Schools sponsored an art contest as part of the celebration to honor our nation’s veterans. These sisters took home two of the top three prizes with their tribute to those who serve to protect. This year’s theme was HONOR and these lady Patriots depicted the theme well. To our military-connected families – thank you for your service!
PRIS 4th Graders Visit Fort Toulouse
Our C4 classes had a great time at Fort Toulouse! This trip builds upon the knowledge gained in 4th grade Alabama History where they learn about the European settlements in early Alabama.
PRES Patriots Chosen for Admin’s Cabinet
Kind, Compassionate, Leader, Encourager, Hardworking, and Inclusive. These are just some words used to describe these PRES Patriots who were chosen for the first Admin’s Cabinet of the year at our elementary school. At their first meeting, our school board recognized these Patriots for going above and beyond the Patriot Promises: Contribution, Honor, Ownership, and Quality! Way to go!
