Riverview PTSA Council hosted a Reflections Gala on Friday, January 12, 2024, to celebrate all of Riverview's student artists who advanced to the Council (district) level.
Over 100 wonderful entries were featured from all Riverview schools. Attending families browsed a gallery of this inspiring art and enjoyed refreshments. All participants were recognized with a ribbon and certificate on stage.
