Help!  Mrs. Mattsson and Team Mr. Riley need your help.  As many of you know, Mr. John Riley, our beloved 8thgrade science teacher, is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.  We have a few special things planned once we return from Winter Break, but we need YOU to put on your thinking caps and travel down memory lane.  While you are away from the hustle and bustle of school, maybe sitting by the fire enjoying time with your family, take a few minutes to reflect on what Mr. Riley has done for you in the past or things you appreciate/admire/remember about him.  THERE WILL BE MORE INFORMATION TO COME.  For now, simply jot down some memories and hold on to them (or email them to Zach Reulbach).  If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Mattsson.  Enjoy your break!
