The Riverside SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) student organization is active in several areas this year, all aiming at helping their peers to make better informed and overall safer decisions in life. They have once again joined with larger state and national organizations such as Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office programs SAFE (Seatbelts Are For Everyone) and Booster to Belts promoting consistent and proper seat belt usage; Kansas RESIST (advocating against the use of tobacco and vape products), as well as SADD's own activities to promote drug and alcohol free lifestyles. This group has already received grants from these organizations to conduct training, attend conferences, do surveys and promote events and legislation in the communities of Wathena and Elwood and at the state level. A couple of those activities have already begun. The first of which is the seat belt survey backed by law enforcement where students observe vehicles entering into school parking lots and drop off locations and observe/record seat belt usage and driver distractions to be reported at the state level.
Members of SADD also have collected signed pledge cards from students at lunch and take monthly drawings for Casey's gift cards. The winners for the months of September and October were Delanie Hundley, Chase Walters, Morgan Miller and Charity Piveral. In addition to these drawings, banners were created for students to sign and be placed in the middle and high schools. Several other activities such as a poster contest for the elementary students, and "Vape Free Day" is in the works, and several of the student leaders will be attending the Kansas Teen Traffic Safety Conference in Topeka.
For more information on this group, the activities being planned, or if you would like to provide assistance in any way, please contact Jim Cera, group sponsor, at the high school.

The Riverside Cross Country runners finished off their season last week at Jackson Heights and Alma - Wabunsee. The Jackson Heights meet we have been going to for the last 2 decades and it has always been a great prep race for our regional meet at the high school level. It is also the last race for middle school runners. Carter Hewins, 8th grader, ran very well in the race placing 2nd in the race with a time of 13:23 for the longer than 2 mile course.
Hayden Daugherty placed 1st in the JV division and in the top 20 overall in his race at Jackson Heights Tuesday. On Saturday, we traveled to Alma for the Class 2 A regionals meet. It was a beautiful morning for a race and Hayden ran well, placing 41st with a time of 20:42, a large improvement in time over his freshman year.
Thank you to everyone who supported these runners. We look forward to track season and know there's a lot of off-season work to be done now to prepare.
