Congratulations to the soccer team on their 7-0 win over Valmeyer in the John Martin Kickoff.
The first annual John Martin Soccer Kickoff at Wood River Soccer Park.
Cross Country at the New Athens Invitational has been cancelled. Practice will be at the Wood River Rec. Center track.
The Riverbend CEO Program was at EAWR today. They spoke with Mrs. Robinson about the role of a principal and shared some of their post high school plans.
We have two cancellations to announce for Monday, Aug. 26.
Tonight's boys soccer games in the John Martin Tournament have been delayed until 7:30. The other games scheduled for this afternoon have a high probability of being cancelled based on wet bulb measurements that Mr. Sutton will be taking this afternoon. Stay tuned!
