Our Cool School of the Week, Riverview Junior High, is the first junior high we’ve visited this school year. While the school was built in 1961 and may seem “old,” students say it’s part of the vintage charm.
“I think it’s pretty cool because it’s so old and still standing and all the faculty and staff is just really amazing,” said one SBO member.
Inside the building, students get the opportunity to do hands-on learning in classes like ceramics — which is where imagination comes to life. One student made a monster, another a uni-kitty, and so much more.
“I think what makes Riverview a really cool school is that we give our kids the opportunity to do hands-on electives,” said ceramics teacher Miss Brown.
Just a hallway away is the choir room, where students perform some of the most creative choir warm-ups you’ve ever seen, including softly hitting each other’s backs like massages.
“The purpose of that warmup is to kind of help relieve tension so that we can sing a lot easier and that we can hit the higher and lower notes,” explained one choir student.
