Rivercrest School District

The inflatable turkey is continuing to spread Thanksgiving cheer around Rivercrest Elementary. Mr. Milligan, assistant principal, presented third-grade teacher Melissa Baker with today's "You've Been Gobbled" recognition. We appreciate you, Mrs. Baker!

This week, the inflatable turkey is spreading Thanksgiving cheer around Rivercrest Elementary. Thanks to Mr. Milligan, assistant principal, the "You've Been Gobbled" challenge is in full swing. Each day, the class with the most nominations from the other classrooms gets the turkey, and today’s lucky recipient is Mrs. Kaylee Lloyd. Let the Thanksgiving fun begin!

The Unified Cheer Team at Rivercrest Elementary would like to thank Viskase for their generous donation.

RHS would like to say thanks to Viskase for their donation to the Backpack Project!

In his first touch at the high school level, Lexx Latham hit paydirt from 34 yards out. Terry Gentry capped the Colts scoring with a 72 yard TD run. Hunter Ellis connected on 6 PATs.

𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗢𝗡 𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗦: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjBCN80mCUa2yIohywWas4g IT’S GAME DAY and this evening is SENIOR NIGHT for the Colts. Rivercrest will host Piggott in the regular season finale. Senior Night activities are scheduled for 6:25pm with kickoff slated at 7:00pm. Your Colts are 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the 3A-3 conference after blasting Manila on the road last week 45-6. QB Cavonta Washington has thrown for 1,834 yards and 26TDs and has rushed for nearly 800 yards and 9 more scores. He’s had a great group to distribute the ball to in Buddah Harris (39-753yds 10TDs), Jayden Young (34-499yds 8TDs & 6 rushing TDs), Jakavion Williams (25-380yds 5TDs), and Keiran Morris (16-265yds 3TDs). Young leads the Colt defense with 59 tackles and 5 INTs. Four more players have at least 50 tackles — Andrew Lomack (55 tackles 11TFL), Nolan Williams (53 tackles), Keiran Morris (51 tackles), and Tekylun Sanders (50 tackles). The Colts have 6 special teams TDs on the year. The Mohawks have struggled this season sitting at 0-9 overall and 0-6 in conference. In week 4, Piggott led Newport 18-12 a few minutes from halftime before succumbing to the Greyhounds. The Mohawks love to use a big offensive line and fullback to pave the way for their running attack. The Colts lead the all-time series 17-1. The Mohawks are looking for a signature win going into the off-season and the Colts are looking to finish the regular season strong ahead of the state playoffs. Make plans to join us at The TEZ to cheer on the red and gray. GO COLTS!

The Backpack Project is a program that allows the district to send home weekend snack bags with those students that need food assistance. This program is run completely on donations. Currently, our 7-12 program is in need of nonperishable snack supplies. If you would like to help, donations can be dropped off at the junior high or high school office.
