🎤👩‍🎤👨‍🎤Choir!!!👨‍🎤👩‍🎤🎤 We are gearing up for an awesome year and they are sounding really good! Sounding good and can't wait to hear what they sound like with a few months under their belt! Keep up the great work! #BeACharger⚡⚡

🚨Game Day🚨 It’s 🏐 time for the ⚡️Lady Chargers⚡& it is great to get back on the court. We travel to Ewing to play ⁦@SummerlandBobc1⁩ and ⁦@BooneCentral_VB⁩ starting at 5pm! Good luck! #PassSetKill #BeACharger⚡⚡

Just a reminder to all the Charger fans attending Monday's Jamboree in Ewing. Riverside will play Summerland @ 5PM and Boone Central at 6PM. Each game will be two sets only. Summerland's activity protocol due to Covid is the following: * 75% Capacity. Ewing - 412 People first come first serve. *Family groups are to be seated together for health and safety reasons. Please honor social distancing guidelines between households. (Elementary kids will be asked to sit with their parents, and no running around will be allowed!) *Face coverings are encouraged of all spectators, both indoors and outdoors. Please stay home if you are feeling ill. *Concession Stands will be available. Please follow procedures at each location! * Seating will be marked. *The Student Section is for currently enrolled students grades 7-12. *Opposing Bench personnel are strongly encouraged to wear a mask, including coaches, players not in the game, student managers, statisticians, filmers and media. *All fans are expected to exit the facility immediately following the game. *No meals or sack lunches can be brought into the school from visiting teams.

Wow! It has been great to see the kids and be back at school! As we reflect on the first week, we will have to make a change at the Spalding site. Starting Monday, all Spalding Site students will be required to wear a face-covering when transitioning between classes and/or when leaving their room. We have worked very hard keeping pods separated, but it has been difficult with the layout of the building. They WILL NOT be required when they are in their classrooms with their pod, just when they leave that room to transition to another room or leave their classroom for any reason. Thank you for being flexible. If you have questions contact Mrs. Nordhues or Ms. Kaczor.

A little 🌞 and a little fun to end the day! Our staff is embracing the nice weather (with some well placed shade trees). And our sophomores are really embracing the Spanish culture while learning 🇪🇸. Great way to end the week! #BeACharger⚡⚡
