Riverbend Middle School students in Mrs. Vogt's Culture and Language class recently researched a famous Spanish person, creating informational posters that were hung in the hallway. The class then did a gallery walk and used sticky notes to leave positive comments on the posters. In this new elective, students have also studied different cultural aspects of French and Spanish. #MVNation

Robertsville Elementary is very excited to share the addition of a new staff member. His name is Brutus Hill, and he is the therapy dog for our building. He spends most of his time in Mrs. Hill’s 4th grade class, but he regularly makes tours of the building with her to check up on everyone. The students in his class would like you to know how wonderful he is and how much just having him there helps them relax and focus on their tasks. Brutus has been in training to be a therapy dog since he was 12 weeks old, and now at 7 years of age he’s an old pro helping children and adults relieve their anxiety. Brutus loves his job. He even knows when he and Mrs. Hill are getting close to school and that he’ll see all of his friends soon! #MVNation
