Tarrah Elam and the Middle School Girls got the newest addition to the RIS Athletics Program underway last week!  Starting with the basics (D and Dribbling!) the girls have started prepping for their first game against Compass Charter School on Tuesday, November 10.  High School Girls will be the hitting the hardwood starting in November.

Last week, Mrs. Kaserman’s 4th Grade class piled into the Riverstone bus for a three-day whirlwind tour around southern Idaho to wrap up their first quarter landform unit.  Stopping first at the Bruneau Dunes for geology lessons and landscape painting with Jay Nelson, the enthusiastic crew then headed east to camp near Hagerman and the historic Thousand Springs. The following morning, the bus departed for Craters of the Moon National Monument and students went for a two-mile hike through the Blue Dragon lava flow and explored the Buffalo Caves lava tube.  After returning to camp, everyone was excited to rinse off in the naturally heated swimming pool!  And apparently, the flips were the best way to get the dirt off!
