Lions, Don't forget to "Fall Back" for an extra hour of sleep on Nov. 3rd!
🎁✨ Riverwalk Academy GT and Student Council are excited to support Operation Christmas Child! We'll be accepting donations from November 3rd to November 15th in the front office to pack in shoe boxes for children worldwide. Let’s unite to spread joy and make a difference this holiday season! Items should be small enough to fit in a shoe box. For more information reach out to Mrs. Long or Mrs. Benderson 🎄❤️ #OperationChristmasChild #GiveBack #RiverwalkAcademy
A huge shout out to our boys' and girls' cross-country teams for their strong season as well as our regional leaders!!! We have seen some big growth this year, and these students have worked extremely hard to earn these well-deserved titles. We can't wait to see what our Lions do at State! #RiverwalkAcademy #PowerofthePride #SCCharterSchools #SchoolofChoice #CrossCountry
We have had several unexpected events this year already that have resulted in early releases or schedule changes and our community of parents, aunts, uncles, best friends, grandparents, etc. have made each impromptu early dismissal seamless and headache free. Thank you for your candor, smiles, patience, and kind words. We couldn't do this without you. 💙🦁💙 #proudtobealion #riverwalkacademy #powerofthepride #teamandfamily

Erica McCray has been a part of the Riverwalk Pride for ten years, the last seven of which have been in administration. Ms. McCray brings such a gentle and caring atmosphere to our elementary team through the way she truly listens to the needs of students, guardians, and staff members and works to accommodate those needs for the better of our school. We are grateful for her contributions to our school community and she is a true asset. She had this to say about her service in administration: "I love being a principal because I am able to build meaningful connections with students daily and I am able to be part of a community that genuinely cares about helping students grow and be successful."
Thank you, Ms. McCray! #PrincipalAppreciationMonth #RiverwalkAcademy #ThankYou #RiverwalkPride #PowerOfThePride

Help us welcome to the Riverwalk Pride Mr. Tyreke Glenn! He is joining us as our K-9 Restorative Practices Facilitator.
"Hi, I'm Tyreke Glenn and I'm excited to be the Restorative Practices Facilitator for my first year here. Originally from Columbia, SC, I've been in the Rock Hill/Fort Mill area for 6 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Sport and Fitness Administration from Winthrop University and have worked with children of all ages for 2 years, gaining valuable experience as a tutor and mentor through volunteer efforts. I'm passionate about helping students thrive and I’m eager to bring that dedication to Riverwalk Academy. Outside of work, I’m a fitness enthusiast and a proud “gym rat.” I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, cooking up new recipes, and staying connected with my family. I also love giving back to the community through volunteer work. A fun fact about me is that I had heart surgery at 15, which has been a driving force behind my commitment to personal wellness and my passion for helping others succeed.
I'm looking forward to creating a positive, supportive environment for our students, encouraging their growth and ensuring they reach their full potential in all areas of life!"
Welcome to the Pride Mr. Glenn!
