With 6.5 years of school behind them and 6.5 more to go, they marked the occasion with fun and friendly games between their advisory classes. It was a fantastic way to celebrate their progress and look ahead to the adventures still to come.

Riverside Sporting Events Expectations  First remember we are here to support the efforts of the players and coaches from both teams.  Cheer for your team, not against your opponent.  For the players and coaches, respect the challenge of your opponent. For the fans, players, and coaches respect the decisions of the officials.     STUDENT FANS ARE EXPECTED TO: Be respectful of game officials, players, coaches, opposing fans, and facilities. Cheer positively during the introduction of players, coaches, and officials. Cheer positively for their team and to refrain from negative cheering and chants directed toward their opponents. Demonstrate a concern for injured players on either team. Remember that they represent not only their school, but their community and family as well. Conduct themselves in an appropriate and civil manner. PARENTS AND FANS ARE EXPECTED TO: Respect game officials, players, coaches, and fans. Recognize outstanding performances on either side of the playing field. Be exemplary role models of sportsmanship by supporting teams in every positive manner possible, including content of cheers and signs. Maintain composure at all times At the end of the game/Halftime we need all spectators to remain in the stands till players and officials have left the court. Anyone who cannot follow these expectations will be warned and then asked to leave premises.  Being in attendance is a privilege not a right.
