Music is alive and well in Anderson 4! Ms. Ramos and Mrs. Williams enjoyed dinner with all four ASD4 elementary music teachers at the SCMEA music conference tonight. The elementary teachers play an important role in establishing a love for music that is then grown more and more in our students by our RMS music teachers! Thankful for this awesome pipeline and relationship!

These five Riverside Singers and Mrs. Williams spent their weekend at Francis Marion University's Performing Arts Center singing with the other top middle school singers in the state at the SCACDA Middle School Honor Choir. Madelyn Root and Sylvia Terry sang in the SSA choir while Bentley Brewer, Brayden Finley, and Travis Perry sang in the SATB choir. They represented Riverside unbelievably well! Congratulations!
