Michael C. Riley Elementary School & ECC

A heartfelt thank-you to New Worship Bluffton and Susan Ballard for donating school supplies to our M.C. Riley students. Your kindness helps make sure our Eagles have the tools they need to learn, grow, and soar. 🦅✏️📚

And just like that… 5th grade is back in the building! 😎📚

Our 5th grade team came ready with big smiles, good energy, and a warm welcome for their newest crew!🦅

First day smiles, new beginnings, and SO many reasons to soar! 🦅💙💛

What a wonderful first day at M.C. Riley Elementary! From excited faces to big smiles, our Eagles started the year ready to learn, love, and lead. Here’s to a year filled with growth, memories, and moments that make us proud to be Eagles! ✨📚🦅

Welcome back, Eagles! We’re so glad you’re here! 💙💛

Our Eagles have landed!🦅 💛💙🦅
The first day of school is always a little sweeter with these smiles! Here's to a year of learning, growing, and soaring together. Let's make this a year to remember! 🦅

Tomorrow is more than the first day of school—it’s the beginning of new friendships, new opportunities, and a new year to soar.

I can’t wait to welcome our Eagles back and see our hallways filled with smiles again. To our students, families, and staff: thank you for being part of what makes our school so special.

Here’s to a wonderful first day. Let’s soar together! 💙🦅

School spirit is in full swing at M.C. Riley! 💙✨ Our staff enjoyed a delicious breakfast from our administrators before putting their creativity to work during Mrs. Beishir’s oyster shell wrapping activity. It was the perfect way to connect, create, and get our minds flowing as we prepare to welcome our students tomorrow. Here’s to an incredible year ahead! 🦪🍎

What a wonderful way to kick off the new school year! 💙
Thank you to all of our families who joined us for Meet the Teacher. It was exciting to see students meet their new teachers, explore their classrooms, reconnect with friends, and start building the partnerships that make our school community so strong. We’re ready for an amazing year ahead! ✨

Fueling our teachers one delicious bite at a time! 🍽️💙 A huge THANK YOU to our incredible PTO officers—Mrs. Santiago, Mrs. Fanning, Mrs. Godoy, and Mrs. Guerrero (not pictured)—for treating our staff to lunch before students return on Friday. You helped kick off the school year with full hearts, full stomachs, and plenty of smiles.
We’re so grateful for your support! ✨

A heartfelt thank you to Kayla from The Grays at Old Town for investing in the teachers of Michael C. Riley Elementary! 💙
