Riviera FFA members collected $500 in gift cards to be donated to CASA during this holiday season. We are extremely proud of our Riviera FFA members’ willingness to give back to their community.
The misty weather and cloud-covered sky added a touch of holiday magic to Santa's arrival at Riviera ISD. The cheers and sirens created an exciting atmosphere for everyone involved, even more so that Santa took the time to visit with Nanny Elementary students. Events like these create lasting memories for the students and contribute to a sense of community during the holiday season. A big thank you to the Benavides family, Riviera ISD Support Services Coordinator and the Student Affairs Coordinator for their contributions and support in making this heartwarming event possible. Riviera ISD would also like to acknowledge donations from various organizations and businesses. The generosity of these donors ensures that all students are gifted, fostering a sense of inclusivity and holiday cheer. The holiday cheer will continue with high school and middle school students being treated during the week of the break, extending the festive spirit throughout the entire school community.
