During STEAM classes students have been learning about community service projects and helping others. Students created cheerful messages and words of encouragement. Cards were distributed to residents of the Riverview American House by Nicole Nation, the Community Relations Director, at the American House.

HANK MINCKIEWICZ Riverview Register The Riverview girls basketball team seems anything but fazed by the delayed start to the 2020 high school season. Despite the campaign being delayed by more than two months, the Bucs bolted from the blocks and won seven of their first eight games. Their only setback was a 58-52 loss in the second game of the season to Milan and that turned out to be a bit of a fluke. The Bucs scored 39 points in the first half, had a big lead and then let it slip away with an atypical 19-point second- half performance. Riverview proved the loss a fluke by blowing out the Big Reds 67-38 in the second meeting between the two teams on March 1. In most of its other games, Riverview has been dominant, holding Airport, Jefferson and Grosse Ile each to under 20 points for the game. In more modest victories, Riverview beat Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central Photo by Larry Caruso 61-27 and Huron 68-30. Elyssa Kincais and the Riverview girls basketball team are off to a hot start, winning seven of their first eight games. But there was one other close affair, and it was a big one. anywhere. and because of that, she draws a lot of seven rebounds and her 24 points in the On Feb. 15, Riverview traveled “As I was telling our assistant coach attention.
