Passage of Proposition M will positively impact every student in the MVR-III School District. This No Tax Increase bond issue will provide funds for a new 7th/8th grade building and provide a better learning space for students in grades 5 & 6. Upon completion of a new middle school, this project would immediately affect over 800 students in grades 5 - 8. However, all future students at grades 4 and below would ultimately benefit from the improved learning spaces provided by Prop M. #MVNation #MovingForwardTogether

What's happening this week at Riverbend?


Not the outcome we wanted tonight....but we always enjoy watching our athletes compete!



Students in Mrs. Puls' Studio Art class recently took on a special service-learning project to make Riverbend even more inspiring! They collaborated with teachers to design and paint custom ceiling tiles that reflect the personality and spirit of each classroom.
Their hard work and creativity will leave a lasting impact, as these beautiful tiles will be displayed throughout the school for years to come!
Way to go, artists!
