River Bluff planning Color-A-Thon
For Literacy Fundraiser
River Bluff will host a Color-A-Thon for Literacy fundraiser during
the May Engagement Day, Wednesday, May 20th in the afternoon. All monies raised will be used to purchase new library and
classroom books.
The Color-A-Thon is a run/walk for students with the route beginning and ending at River Bluff. Throughout the course of the run,
color-safe dye will be thrown in the air as runners and walkers go
by in their white shirts.
The more donations you collect, the
more color AND amazing rewards you receive!
Students should have received a fundraiser packet with information/directions for making donations/payments online. This is
an event for River Bluff students only.

These workshops are geared toward students in grades 4 through 8, but each child must be accompanied
by an adult. Slots for this workshop are limited and provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. We are again
limiting each workshop to 10 teams of one adult, one child.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Syttende Mai Celebration
With all the excitement of the upcoming Syttende Mai, we would just like to remind parents that our intent will be to run a normal school day. River Bluff is a closed campus. Students signing out during the
day on Friday, May 15th will only be released to their parents. Students will not be given approval to
leave campus for the lunch period. Friday morning is also our CREW day away to Fast Forward.
8th Grade Celebration
In honor of your child’s middle school accomplishments, River Bluff Middle School is hosting a celebration evening on Friday, June 5th, from 5:30-8:00pm. Watch for more information to come your way.
We would like to encourage all 8th grade students to attend.
Important End-of-Year Information
The end of the year field trips for all grade levels will take place on Wednesday, June 10. Students have
been encouraged to be part of the "Crew" by being respectful to all, engaged in safety, and willing to
accept responsibility for their actions. Because of this, each block has discussed with their students the
process students should take if they have received two or more referrals and how and if there are steps
for them to take if they want to earn restorative justice. Contact your child’s block leader if you have
specific questions.
Year-End Field Trips
6th grade—Stoughton Historic Walking Tour and Cinema Café Movie
7th grade—Mt. Olympus Theme Park, Wisconsin Dells
8th grade—Noah’s Ark Waterpark, Wisconsin Dells
HOW TO DROP AN EGG
WITHOUT BREAKING
The egg drop is a classic science experiment. To
drop an egg without breaking it, you need to find a
way to minimize the force of the impact and its
effects on the delicate eggshell. The best ways to do
this are to cushion the egg while also changing the
way it drops and the way it lands.
Our 6th grade students had the task of creating a
cushioned barrier to stop an egg from breaking
when dropped from the 2nd level window.
INCOMING 6th GRADE ORIENTATION
River Bluff Staff would like to invite families of students who will be entering 6th Grade for the 2015-2016 School
year to Orientation Night on Tuesday, May 5th from 6:30PM-7:30PM at the River Bluff cafeteria.
At this meeting we will be having presentations on the many instructional programs of River Bluff, our student
services and supports, and we will have a guided tour to check out the many exciting related arts activities.
We hope to see you there! Please call us at 877-5500 if you have any questions.
