Moving On Ceremony – Wednesday, June 8
Riverside's Moving On Ceremony will take place at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church celebrating the students who are leaving Riverside this year. In addition to having an alumni speaker, a Board of Directors speaker, and a few special awards, we will do yearbook dedication.

All students should report to their classrooms at regular time, and any parents wanting to attend the ceremony, should report to St. Michael’s in time for the 8:30 a.m. start of the program. It should last about an hour.

After the program, all students and faculty/staff will return to school for the rest of the morning. We will sign yearbooks, meet as classes to culminate the year, and have a special treat. Dismissal is at noon.
