Football practice on Thanksgiving — a Rivercrest tradition! You know it’s a great season when you’re practicing on this day. From our family to yours — Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Luck to Rivercrest Cheer as they compete at Jonesboro High School today in their last competition of the regular season!

Rivercrest High School Freshman Academy students in Mrs. McClung's Keystone class planned a menu for their dream Thanksgiving dinner. They then had a mock online shopping trip, and figured out sales tax. The students then, using the average hourly wage for Osceola, figured out how many hours they would have to work to pay for their dream meal. The students gained not only budgeting insight, but practice planning all components for a meal.

Eighth grade science students designed safety systems to help direct the energy of a vehicle crash away from the driver/passenger in a vehicle. The students had to build a device to protect an egg when dropped as part of their design.
