Board Appreciation Night 💚
We are grateful for the continued leadership and commitment of our board members. Gifts presented in appreciation were thoughtfully created by students from Nanny Elementary, DLP Art, and Kaufer ECHS Floral & AG, highlighting the talent and pride within our district.
The seniors of the Riviera Baseball Team, along with Coach Amaya, recently delivered handwritten letters and custom shirts to the teacher or staff member who has influenced them most throughout their educational or professional journey.
It was a meaningful and heartfelt moment shared between players and educators—one that will be remembered for years to come. Riviera Baseball is rich in tradition, and this new tradition is one that will proudly be carried on year after year. 💙⚾
