Silver Lake Joint School District 1

Riverview Elementary School was established in the village of Silver Lake, Wisconsin, in 1895.

A proposal to build a new school on a new parcel of land was made at a meeting on July 11, 1949.

The construction plan, approved on August 8, 1949, was to build a three-room school on a nine-acre area.

[1] In 1955, two more classrooms, a storage room, washrooms for the Kindergarten, and an extra door to create a double-door entry were all added.

[1] Multicultural Night, one of Riverview School's most crowd-pleasing events, has an estimated 500–750 attendees every year.

The gifted and talented students also created displays for South Sudan, Nepal, and India, based on books that they had read.

Riverview decided to make this a bigger event, so it was renamed to the First Annual Multicultural Fair in 2011.

Critter Club is a group of fifth and sixth graders who teach peers how to take responsibility for small animals such as guinea pigs and hamsters.

This club’s goal is to interact with other animal lovers and teaches great responsibilities.

The club also does fundraisers for the class pets with Looms4❤, by making rubber band jewelry and selling it at school events.

Members of the club learn how to budget money, fundraise, clean cages, and handle animals correctly.

TOPS was created by Andrea Zackary (principal), John Gendron (district administrator), and a group of teachers.
