Riverview Transition Center

What a great day!! Using our training from PEAC we were able to independently use the smartmovesus bus to get to Olive Garden! Everyone had a great experience and an even better meal!

The Riverview Community School District is looking to hire a second Transitions Teacher at the Riverview Transition Center! If you're a teacher looking for a change, apply! 😁

Mrs. Grooms, Trenton High School, PAES
Happy teacher appreciation to all teachers week! I would like to give a thank you and call out one of my previous teachers Mrs. Grooms. She is the teacher in the paes room at Trenton High School. I first met Mrs. Grooms in sixth grade when she was the resource room teacher. Mrs. Grooms really had an impact on my life. She was always there for me when I needed help and she just knew when I had enough and was overwhelmed. I was so excited to hear that she was becoming the new paes teacher and to see her again. She was always in a good mood and is an awesome teacher. I miss you and will try to visit soon. Thank you for Mrs. Grooms for being there for me. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Mrs. Enochs (Maci), Trenton High School, Math Teacher
Mrs. Enochs was a math teacher and now she is the assistant principal, she is also the cheerleading coach. I had her for 9th and 10th grade. She is always understanding and helpful. Ms. Maci was my very first teacher in high school, my first hour teacher freshman year. She also was my case load teacher. I could talk to her about anything. Ms. Maci was always there for me and very helpful. She is always upbeat and has a positive outlook on things. Thank you Ms. Maci for putting up with me all those years. I will try to visit soon. Have a great day!

Mr. Mark Masserant, Flat Rock Community High School, Woodshop

He taught me to be the best I can be in life. When it came to a sad time he had a lot of patience when it came to discussing what happened. He showed me how to be a hard worker. I plan to use some of Mr. Masserant’s advice for many years to come.
He was my favorite teacher because he & I would always joke around & he was happy with me. He was the one high school teacher I never went without. He has a heart of gold. I used to think he was born in the dinosaur age. Plus we had a good time talking about driving the mock steam trains.

Character Traits
Patient, helpful, cool, loyal, compassionate, honest, kind

Mrs Ford, Garfield Elementary School, Math/Money Teacher
I learned a lot from when I worked with her for two hours during the school day. Mrs. Ford had an impact on me because she knew what to say to me and she had a good attitude and always looked out for me and took good care of me when I was there.

❤️ Aidan

Mrs. Mose, Flat Rock Community High School, Painting and 3D Art
I chose Mrs. Mose because she showed me to how to use different types of painting techniques and how to make plates and bowls out of clay. I would say that she is funny and understanding and listens to what people say. An example was when she was able to reheat a part of my mug that I made that didn't have enough paint on it after I put the paint on it.

❤️ Brayden

Happy Appreciation Week to all of the teachers! I hope you all are having an amazing week!!! Here are the teachers I wanted to showcase!

Mrs. Long, Trenton High School PAES, 9th-11th grade
Mrs. Long was a very nice and kind teacher and she always made me happy. Whenever I came into her classroom she always said hi to me when I walked in the room and I still stay in touch with her and I miss her.

Mrs. Grooms, Trenton High School PAES, 12th grade
Mrs. Grooms was a very nice and kind teacher too. She was always in a good mood and happy to see her students. She was always there for me.

Thank You Mrs. Long and Mrs. Grooms for everything. I miss you both so much!

❤️ Leah

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week we will be showcasing some of the teachers who have made a wonderful impact in each of our lives! Check back daily to see which teachers we are showcasing! 😁

This summer I plan to do a lot of awesome things! I plan to still go to J&M Towing Enterprises, Inc. in Romulus, MI, and I hope I can ride along with some other people from there! I'm also going to go down to Ohio to visit another towing company and will be seeing their new trucks. I plan to go back to Messer Limousine Service in Wyandotte as well! I also would like to continue my can collection business this summer! I plan to just spend some time relaxing too!

I have had a lot of fun posting this week! Thanks for following along!

I'm going to be wearing this 3 piece suit on May 18, 2023 to the The Arc Downriver Formal Dinner with a solid lavender purple neck tie. I plan to buy more suits in the future! Through the Arc I have gotten to make some new friends and connections in life. I am involved in their dance club.

I also got the opportunity to go to the Night to Shine prom in Taylor, MI this year where I saw my friend from Messer Limousine. I had a lot of good food, and saw several people I know!

This is me at Messer Limousine Service in Wyandotte, MI. I met the owner through someone my dad knows. I got to ride in one of their cars, it was an amazing experience meeting the owner and one of the drivers! I got to see funeral coaches, limousines, and the party bus! I am looking forward to going back this summer and hope to see more vehicles, plus we talked about their former fleet! They have 4 hearses, 1 party bus, and 3 limousines including a Lincoln Town Car, which is the only traditional American full size sedan that they have left! They also have a Lincoln MKT- 8 passenger and a Cadillac XTS- 6 passenger!

This is me at J&M Towing Enterprises, Inc. in Romulus, MI. I met the owner at a formal dinner and he and I got each others info, talked, and had a good time! I have ridden in 4 trucks, saw many other trucks in person, and met many staff members. My favorite truck was the Wreck Master, but I have not rode in that one yet. The owner loves that truck, trust me! I am looking forward to more opportunities to work with J&M!

I am Jonah, a student at the Riverview Transition Center . I am taking over the page this week to tell you about myself! I like to ride in tow trucks, hang out and joke with my friends, work around the house and help my family run errands, go for walks, collect returnables, and go on outings with my teammates at RTC.

We love to cook together at the Riverview Transition Center! Last week we made two different homemade stir fry recipes! My favorite one had ramen noodles in it! Here's the recipe:

We have had so much fun learning to use the smartmovesus bus with PEAC over the last 3 weeks! Super bummed that next week will be our last week working with this amazing program! Here are some pictures from this week's rainy trip to Southland Mall!

Good morning! We have been "radio silent" for a little while here on Facebook... sorry about that!

We're hoping to start posting at least once a week, but our posts will look a little bit different for the remainder of this year! Posts will be driven by student interest and may have a lot to do with transition or not much at all! Either way, we're sure you'll enjoy interacting with them!

We've been quiet on Facebook lately, but very busy over here at the Riverview Transition Center! Check out our new set of molds!

Please allow 2 weeks for orders to be completed! (Especially our seasonal molds!)
