Even before the proces-

unique backdrop designed by

Ms. Barbara Gross. It was

black mesh with many little

lights and six big silver stars.

To the right of the stage were

2 THE BEACON May 2010

Appearing for the first time

in their purple and gold

gowns, the Riverside Chris-

tian School Class of 2010 was

in the spotlight at the Sunday

Baccalaureate service.

Family and friends gathered

at the Drushal Memorial

Brethren Church. As Miss

Beverly Burroughs played

“God of Our Fathers,” first

the eighth grade graduates

came in and took their seats

up front. They are Erin

Nicole Butters (Salutatorian),

Amanda Brooke Campbell

(Valedictorian), Sean Nicho-

las Todd Hughes, and Brit-

tany Paige Stacy.

Then everyone stood as the

six seniors marched in and

took their places on the stage.

Banks (Valedictorian), Mi-

chael Charles Fugate, Gary

Thomas Herald, Jimmy Bran-

don Potter, Dwayne Edward

Ramey, Beretta Hershella

Roberts (Salutatorian).

Pastor Lorie Keck had

prayer and everyone sang

“He Leadeth Me.” Senior

Dwayne Ramey led everyone

in the responsive reading

“Challenge to Youth.”

I see this everyday, cigarettes on the floor or a spit bottle set-

ting there on the street by a car! Then an old man picks it up

and spits that old `backer out of his mouth. Or what it is com-

monly called is smokeless tobacco.

Tobacco is a bad thing to be chewing. I’d rather chew bubble

gum! I mean tobacco has a lot of sugar in it to make the horri-

ble taste go away, but there is also a most important ingredi-

ent nicotine which keeps you addicted.

Tobacco has a lot of harmful chemicals. It has a lot of salts.

There are studies that have been made that tobacco can cause

high blood pressure and cancer.

A few ingredients found in `backer are lead, arsenic, fiber

glass which cuts your mouth so that the nicotine can get in

your blood, and cadmium used in car batteries. This stuff does-

n’t mix well with your health.

So, people, chewing tobacco will make your teeth rot out and

maybe cause cancer in your mouth and you may lose half of

your jaw and even lose your life. Is the pleasure of chewing it

worth risking your life?

Palm of Your Hand.”

Although a number of stu-

dent awards had been given

out earlier in an Honors Day

assembly, some higher awards

They included High School

ent of the Garvin Scholarship.

Beretta Roberts received a

Hazard Community College

Grade Citizenship Award was

presented to Erin Butters by

Clara Gabbard representing

the Jackson Women’s Club.

The Senior Citizenship Award

was presented to Dwayne

Ramey by Ervine Allen repre-

senting the Jackson Kiwanis

Club. Lots of stars appeared

on stage this night.

Each graduate from each of

the three groups was called

forward to receive their di-

ploma and a Bible. They

were presented by Mr. Lorie

Keck, Mr. Ernie Roberts and

Mr. Arnett Napier.

After the school song was

sung by everyone, the gradu-

ates were escorted to a receiv-

ing line to receive congratula-

tions from many family and

friends. Also refreshments

were available for everyone. then sang the praise chorus

“Mighty to Save.”

Sisters Bethany and Erin

Butters sang a duet “He is My

All in All.”

Pastor Phillip Swartzentru-

ber of the Turner’s Creek

Mennonite Church had a

meaningful challenge for the

graduates. He used the story

of Daniel and the fiery fur-

nace and the acronym

R.A.M.S. in his message. The

R was for resolve, A for ac-

cept, M for miracles, and S

for strength. His closing was

The eighth grade graduates

had a presentation with scrip-

ture and the song “In the Palm

of Your Hand.” The seniors

followed with a choral presen-

tation from Psalm 119 and

“Go out and make a differ-

ence in your world.”

Then everyone stood once

again to sing “Trust and

Obey.” Pastor Swartzentruber

had closing prayer and

“Savior, Like a Shepherd

Lead Us” was played as the

graduates left to form a re-

ceiving line outside.

Many pictures were taken

and hugs given as the gradu-

ates continue their countdown

shared on Wednesday and the

students learned to fully rely

on God to take care of them.

Thursday wrapped up the

week with a creative parable

using Nicodemus to illustrate

the theme once more...Fully

Rely on God.

Not only did students enjoy

the frog jokes and lessons,

they also learned a Bible

verse each day. Mrs. King led

them in playing games to

practice the verses.

The children had fun play-

ing Jeopardy to review what

they learned. Students had a

wonderful time all week

learning how to F.R.O.G.

Mrs. King is the wife of

Rev. Timothy King, pastor of

the Solid Rock Church at

Vancleve. They have two

children, Nathan and Hannah.

Tony Little, currently pastor

of the Cutshin Bible Church

in Leslie County and a former

Riverside staff member, was

the speaker for the high

school Spiritual Emphasis

Week.

Each day Tony called on

volunteers from the student

body to assist with Bible sto-

ries and to demonstrate lesson

points.

The first day he recalled

stories of Peter, Noah, Moses

and Daniel with the reminder

“God was right there.” The

message he wanted the stu-

dents to take with them was

“God will show up.”

Day two, four high school

boys competed in some

unique races but were not al-

lowed to use their toes, or

knees or elbows. Then four

girls blew up balloons and

released them, aiming for the

finish line.

What is green and danger-

ous? A frog with a hand gre-

nade.

This is just one of the many

frog jokes Cindy King used to

begin her elementary chapel

sessions with a laugh during

Spiritual Emphasis Week.

Her theme for the week was

F.R.O.G. — Fully Rely on

God.

Monday kicked off the

week with the students learn-

ing to fully rely on God to

keep His promises. Mrs.

King told the story of Noah.

On Tuesday she shared the

friendship of David and Jona-

than to teach the students to

fully rely on God to be their

friend.

The story of Elijah was

Grace Badarak, a fifth

grader, was the first stu-

dent to top the fifty point

mark in the Accelerated

Reader program in the li-

brary and she received a

Wal-Mart gift card.

A race using no toes or a

released full balloon was like

our lives without Christ, out

of control. Our lives in

Christ’s hands are in His con-

trol.

Day three students and staff

were divided into seven

groups. Each group went to a

different table and was in-

structed to begin putting to-

gether a 500 piece puzzle.

After a time each group was

told to move to a different

table and take up where those

workers left off.

The message was “You’ve

got to start somewhere—with

Jesus...and begin a relation-

ship.” There is no almost,

hope so, maybe. It’s all part

of the big picture.

A whole year in review

would perhaps best describe

the Art Festival held recently.

Art projects done through-

out the school year by stu-

dents in grades 1-12 were on

display in the gymnasium.

Besides the usual chalk and

pencil drawings, there were

displays of mosaics, wood

burnings, digital photography

and more.

“I want the kids to enjoy

their work,” said art teacher

Barbara Gross. “Also this

way the kids in other classes

can see what they can look

forward to.”

An added attraction for all

the visitors to the Festival are

the various hands on projects.

The attendees could make

creepy crawly creatures from

fuzz balls, picture frames

from foam shapes, necklaces

or bracelets or animals from

beads. They could also do

finger painting and take a

break for some refreshments.”

“I enjoy the kids loving art,”

said Ms Gross. “I enjoy their

excitement when something

turns out good. I could just

cry.”

This year the Art Festival

was one of display. No judg-

ing was done.

The food committee knew

all that hard work would cre-

were ready. A variety of

treats and plenty of it was the

perfect ending to an evening

that was different, fun and

It’s a long time tradition at

Riverside, but every year it’s

new and different and fun and

memorable.

It’s called the Senior Recep-

tion. It’s informal. The fac-

ulty and staff host the seniors.

This year it started with a

receiving line that led into the

festively decorated multi pur-

pose room. As the seniors

moved along the line, they

were welcomed as Mr. or

Miss.

However, they were intro-

duced to staff by first names.

SENIOR CHAPEL

There was lots of laughter

and a few tears were shed. It

was the annual Senior Chapel

and this time the Class of

2010 were the honored guests.

Bethany Butters, a junior

and Student Council president

for 2010-2011, served as the

master of ceremonies. She

first called on Hannah Claus-

sen, Council member, to lead

in prayer.

Once again a highlight of

the chapel was a power point

program shown by Coach

Keck. The seniors were

shown in their much earlier

years, then their current years

and finally how they might

possibly be many years from

now. The last part brought

much laughter from the audi-

ence...and the seniors.

posed to last the evening but

there were numerous slip ups.

Shortly, the program com-

mittee, Miss Baker and Miss

Thompson, divided the group

into three teams and led eve-

ryone to the gym.

For the next hour or so the

teams competed against each

other in Minute to Win It

games.

These included stacking

plastic cups using string and

SENIOR CHAPEL

The students also learned

from each other. Some of the

students were so impressed

with projects of their class-

mates that they want to dupli-

cate them next year. The Sci-

ence Fair was a fun way to

encourage learning. Many

thanks to all the teachers and

parents who assisted in mak-

ing this year’s Science Fair a

success.

Where might you find

homemade bouncy balls, slip-

pery slime, rubber eggs, a spi-

der vacuum and many more

interesting projects? Where

else but a Science Fair?

The students brought in

their projects and displays the

day before the Fair and set

them up in the school hall-

ways and library.

One set of students from the

5th and 6th grade class had

help from their classmates to

put the finishing touches on

their project. The class was

supportive and determined not

to have anyone in their class

to be left out of the Science

Fair.

First graders through high

schoolers stood by their dis-

plays to explain and in some

cases demonstrate what they

have learned by their effort.

Three judges were on hand to

evaluate and choose the win-

ners: Mrs. Debra Marshall

from the Natural Resources

office, Mr. Lowell Hamilton

from the Extension office, and

Mr. Carroll Fackler from the

Wood Center.

In the High School/Junior

High Division, Jammie

Napier took first place, Beth-

any Butters was second, and

Lacey McGuinn placed third.

Hannah Claussen and Kayla

Noble received Honorable

Mention.

In the 5th and 6th Grade Di-

vision most of the students

worked in pairs. Judah Voth

and Jimmy Strong got first

place honors, Kaleigh Smith

and Rose Haddix were in sec-

ond place, while Ethan Potter

and Tyler Hudson were third.

Tiffany Johnson, Taya

Spencer and Grace Badarak

received Honorable Mention.

Colton Smith had the best

project in the 3rd and 4th Grade

Division. Sherida Marshall

was in second place and

Wesley Voth placed third.

Haylee Badarak and Zach

Miller received Honorable

Mention.

In the 1st and 2nd Grade Di-

vision, Laurie Mullins had the

best project, followed by An-

thony Clair in second place

and Savannah Baker in third

place. Parker Miller and Ma-

lin Voth both received an

Honorable Mention.

“The judges said afterward

that they were impressed with

the students’ work,” said RCS

science teacher Mr. Larry

Monroe, “and thoroughly en-

joyed getting to meet them.”

Next Bethany read the sen-

ior class prophecy as it had

been prepared for the Junior/

Senior Banquet. This also

brought smiles as to what the

future might hold.

The junior high class pro-

vided some special music for

the chapel by singing “Down

to the River to Pray.”

Then the seniors had their

turn to speak. One at a time

they willed a variety of items

to underclassmen or staff, in

hopes that they, the seniors,

would be remembered. This

did bring on some tears from

time to time as some had sen-

timental value.

Ms. Barbara Gross, repre-

senting H. & R. Block, pre-

sented each senior with a free

tax return.

Carrie Banks announced

that the 2010 yearbook, The

Echo, would be dedicated to

Mrs. Wanda Noble and Miss

Marcia Thompson.

Mrs. Kathy Keck called

Jimmy Strong to the stage and

presented him an Honest Man

Award. Jimmy found twenty

dollars and turned it in. It

was held for several weeks

and never claimed so the

money was given to Jimmy.

A presentation of gifts to the

graduates by Student Council

members was next on the pro-

gram. Each kindergartener

came forward and received a

gift bag of treats from Deanna

Noble and Kristian Patrick.

Brandi Fugate and Jammie

Napier presented a gift to

each eighth grade graduate.

They were very colorful t-

shirts and quickly after chapel

were being worn around

school.

Each senior received a very

nice desk set with his/her

name engraved on it. They

were presented by Lacy

McGuinn and Patric Haddix.

In closing, everyone stood

to sing the school song led by

Mrs. Keck.

caught…somebody got very

wet…and lots of folks went to

jail.

Where did all this happen?

This and much more took

place at the Carnival spon-

sored by the Riverside Parent-

Teacher Fellowship and held

in the school gymnasium.

Four very large inflatables

filled much of the gym. But

there was still room there and

in the hallways for a variety

of other games and prizes.

Some popular attractions

were face painting, hair color-

ing and a dunking booth.

One very popular attraction

was “sending people to

jail” (a lattice work enclosure

in the gym). It took four tick-

ets to put someone in jail and

five tickets to get out.

Theme baskets were on dis-

play for a silent auction. Each

basket was filled by a home-

room class. They all were

varied, colorful and overflow-

ing.

Young and old enjoyed the

fun, the laughter, and the con-

cessions, too.

Parent/Teacher Fellowship sponsors fun Carnival

Mrs. Roberts math classes

used bright colors and geo-

metric shapes to make spe-

cial flowers for Mother’s

Day. Hidden within the

“petals” were cheerful mes-

sages.

Jamie Cody checked out the Silent Auction.

Bobbie Haddix took a turn in the dunking booth.


The seasons come and go

one right after another…..the

sports seasons that is. A num-

ber of our athletes move

quickly from one sport to the

next with barely time to catch

their breath in between.

Then the school year comes

to a close and their year long

efforts are rewarded at an All

Sports Cookout and Award

Night.

After some softball and corn

hole for athletes and their par-

ents and lots of good food,

awards were presented.
