They leave on Sunday, but we sent them off this morning in style. Good luck to our State FFA participants!


Congratulations to our 4/17/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. Courage is to choose what is right. Doing the right thing can be difficult when it may get you or someone you care about in trouble. Think about a time that you did what was right even though it was hard. Sometimes in the moment it doesn’t feel good, but knowing you did what was right is the Honest and Courageous way to live. Keep up the Awesome work. It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Courage #Woohitike

ENERGY EFFICIENCY REBATES FOR NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Jamie Haas, Zach Klabo, Kathy Baerlocher from Great Plains Natural Gas and Peter Gephart, Certified Energy Manager from Frontier Energy presented Finance Director Tom Anderson and Elementary Principal Bobby Elwell with a $36,760.60 rebate check for energy efficiency measures implemented in the new elementary school.
Qualifying projects included pipe insulation, a high-efficiency water heater, and three high-efficiency boilers. Lifetime savings for these projects are estimated at 41,431.9 Dekatherms—the equivalent energy usage of approximately 1,391 homes.
“It is critical that we are financially responsible with the public’s money,” Anderson shared. “Utilizing these rebate programs provides additional financial resources for our schools while lowering our utility bills through energy-efficient equipment. We would like to thank Peter Gephart and Great Plains Natural Gas for their partnership in getting this done.”

Prom 2026 is on April 25. Attached is the schedule.

Congratulations to our RVMS Honor Roll students!

Congratulations to our 4/10/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. We have been talking at RVE about using Courage to choose what is helpful. Being helpful might not sound like it takes much Courage, but at times it can. Being helpful when it is not what your friends are doing takes Courage. It can be scary, but using Courage to choose to do something helpful can impact someone’s life in a big way. Keep up the Amazing work RVE Cards! It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Courage #Woohitike

Congratulations to our 4/7/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. This month our character trait is Courage. Courage means choosing what is helpful, right and kind–even when it’s hard of scary. We have been learning and sharing times in our lives when we did something that we knew was right even when we were scared to do it. So proud of our students who are working so hard! It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Courage #Woohitike
