Proud moment at Rissler ! We celebrated our ABC Award winners this week — students who shine in Achievement, Behavior, and Citizenship. Their hard work, strong character, and commitment to doing the right thing inspire everyone around them. Way to go, champs! Parents, thank you for celebrating with us. Keep shining!

Big shout out to our Trenton High seniors for stopping by today! Our K-4 students lined the halls and gave an awesome send-off (they were so excited). You handled it with such respect and class — we couldn't be prouder. Wishing you all the best as you walk across that stage today. Congratulations, Class of 2026
