From RSD news…
KATIE HINCHCLIFFE RECOGNIZED AS THE 227TH RECIPIENT OF BRIDGE-BUILDER AWARD
Katie Hinchcliffe, a Special Education teacher with Carnation Elementary’s I-SET program, is the 227th recipient of the Riverview School District’s Bridge-Builder Award. Nominated by Superintendent, Dr. Susan Leach, Hinchcliffe received the award at the April 25, 2023, School Board Meeting.
The Bridge-Builder Award consists of a lapel pin and poem, given in memory of Donna Polacek, the district’s long-time Personnel Director who always went the extra mile to give much more than was expected to the staff and students of Riverview.
Periodically, throughout a school year, Bridge-Builder Awards are given to those who help further the mission and goals in Riverview.
Click through to read more about Katie’s recognition and the nomination, as presented by Dr. Leach.
Congratulations Katie!

Tigers! We are ecstatic to announce our fundraising total for Tiger Walk. Drumroll please…we collectively raised $20,000! Way over our goal!
That’s INCREDIBLE! And a testament to how much energy and love our community has for our school.
We will do great things with the funds – all for our kids and teachers.
THANK YOU to everyone who donated. We are grateful and so excited for all the good to come.
We also want to thank Kyla Page, who planned and implemented this amazing event! Not only did all of our kids have fun but we are thrilled to have been able to offer a low sensory aspect for our ISET kiddos! She has been our fundraising extraordinaire this year and did the most amazing job with Tiger Walk! It would not have happened without her! Thank you, thank you, Kyla!
Tigers! We are SO CLOSE! Get your donations in by the end of the day on Friday 4/7! We are so excited about our amazing school and classroom prizes – an all-school recess with treats, pizza and popcorn parties, oh my!
And remember that top donors get a special S’mores and Stories with our librarian, Mr. Heimfeld!
Backpacks and prizes come home tomorrow! If your student is absent they’ll receive them upon their return. Remember to send your kiddos to school in NEON, SPIRIT WEAR, OR WHITE so they glow tomorrow!!
Thank you for your support of the PTSA – it all goes straight back to benefit your students!!
