  Academic Fair - A Unique Rivermont Event!
It's hard to believe after all the time and work that the Academic Fair could be over so quickly!  Thank you to everyone who joined us last night to support our students, who were proud to show what they learned.  Stories were told, displays were built, hours were spent volunteering, and hypotheses were tested - all to learn and share.  With the range of projects, the Academic Fair is a fantastic display of the depth and breadth of the Rivermont Experience!
