One of the often unsung heroes of our school is Ms. Shabrea Fullwood. She works at our school by way of Catawba Family Services and plays a vital role in supporting the emotional well-being of our students. Ms. Fullwood acts as an in-house counselor, offering a safe and confidential space for students to talk about any challenges or struggles they may be facing. Whether it's navigating personal issues, managing stress, or dealing with family matters, Ms. Fullwood provides guidance and support that helps students feel heard and understood. Her compassionate presence makes a significant difference in the lives of many, creating a nurturing environment where students can thrive both academically and emotionally. Riverwalk Academy is deeply grateful for Ms. Fullwood's dedication and care for our students. Her unwavering commitment to their well-being is truly appreciated, and we are fortunate to have her as part of our school community. #SchoolCounselor #StudentWellBeing #EmotionalSupport #MentalHealthMatters #RiverwalkAcademy #CatawbaFamilyServices #SchoolCommunity #SupportOurStudents

This past Friday, students from Ms. Genica's class had a wonderful opportunity to take part in our in-house Special Olympics games! With the enthusiastic support and encouragement of a fantastic group of 9th-grade volunteers, the students showcased their talents by participating in a variety of fun and skill-based challenges. The day was filled with smiles, cheers, and lots of high-fives—and to top it all off, everyone got to celebrate their achievements with some delicious pizza! #riverwalkacademy #specialolympics #powerofthepride #umbutu #riverwalklions

Prom night is one of the most memorable events of high school, and these students are making a powerful choice to keep it safe and positive. By signing the Prom Pledge, they’re committing to stay drug- and alcohol-free, looking out for themselves and their friends, and making responsible decisions that ensure a fun and unforgettable night. Let’s celebrate their leadership and dedication to a prom night focused on joy, friendship, and good choices! #PromPledge #SafeProm #DrugFree #AlcoholFree #Prom2025 #MakeGoodChoices #LeadByExample #PromWithAPurpose #SoberCelebration #YouthLeadership #StaySafe #RiverwalkAcademy #WeAreLions #RiverwalkPride #LionsLeadTheWay

At Riverwalk Academy, we cherish the tradition of filling "blue envelopes" for our seniors. This heartwarming tradition allows families and staff to write encouraging letters to the students who are about to leave high school and step into the next chapter of their lives. These letters are filled with words of wisdom, inspiration, and well-wishes as our seniors prepare to enter the world beyond high school. It’s a special moment for the Riverwalk Academy community to come together and show our support for these young adults embarking on their future journeys. We encourage all families and staff members who know a graduating senior to take part in this meaningful tradition. You have until May 19th to submit your letters, which can be dropped off at any of our front offices. Help us send these students off with encouragement and love! If you don't have blue envelopes, we'll take whatever color you've got. We are proud to continue this tradition that reminds our seniors they are always part of the Riverwalk family, no matter where life takes them. #RiverwalkAcademy #BlueEnvelopeTradition #SupportOurSeniors #Encouragement #Graduation #SeniorSendOff #CommunitySupport #RiverwalkFamily #Classof2025 #Seniors #FutureLeaders

We want to give a big shout-out to our amazing Teaching Assistants. Today is National Paraprofessional Day, and while the term might sound long and formal, it doesn’t fully capture all the incredible work these women do for our school. They are a constant source of support for fellow staff members, students, and parents alike. They give endlessly, handle unexpected challenges with grace, and uplift students by pouring into them day in and day out. Thank you, Ms. McCray, Ms. Crimm, Ms. Greene, Ms. Hammond, Ms. Adams, and Ms. Huffstetler. #riverwalkacademy #powerofthepride #nationalparaprofessionalday #teachingassistant #thankyou
