The Pumpkin Run is one of the many things that makes Riley School so special. From picking pumpkins in our very own pumpkin patch to the encouraging cheers that were heard and the high fives that were given as the students were running. It was a great day to be a Viking!!

Every week a Riley staff member is recognized for their hard work and dedication. This week's "Roadmap to Success Award" goes to Nicolle Stratton.


Today, we had a very special guest at our school — one of our former students Ben Campbell now a proud member of the fire department, returned to teach our students all about fire safety! Ben is a graduate of the class of 1999. 🚒👨🚒


It was an exciting day at Riley School. It was Kindergarten hat parade day!!!

Riley School is very excited to welcome Laura Borhart to our teaching staff. Here is a note from Mrs. Borhart.
Hi, Riley families! My name is Laura Borhart - the newest member of the Kindergarten team here at Riley School! I was born, raised, and still live in Marengo with my husband and 4 kids - all of whom attend Riley. We live on a farm just down the road where we raise cattle, chickens, and goats. This is my 7th year teaching Kindergarten. In addition to teaching, I also had the privilege of staying home with my babies for 7 years and even homeschooled them for 3 of those. I enjoy spending time with my family, being outside, gardening, boating, thrifting, and seeing the country through our Skoolie. Looking forward to an amazing year!
