Big Rapids Daily News - WYBR-FM Big Rapids, MI Today's Hit Music

As a part of their new program recognizing local schools that go above and beyond in reading proficiency, the TalentFirst group honored Riverview Elementary in Big Rapids on Monday.

Students, staff, and media piled in to the school’s gymnasium to celebrate the occasion, including being joined in attendance by TalentFirst President, Kevin Stotts, and Michigan Representative, Tom Kunse.

The ceremony included opening words from Principal Renee Kent, Superintendent Tim Haist, and former Talent First board member Leslie Brown.

“We work so hard here at Riverview,” Kent said. “We love to read, we love to do math, and we love to have fun. We work hard to play hard.”

When it came to the selection process, Stotts said Riverview was an obvious first pick for the award due to their unmatched proficiency.

“Compared to their peer schools, Riverview was well above any other school in the (reading) category,” Stotts said. “They stood out just on their performance alone being 50 to 60 percentage points in terms of reading proficiency, and then we did an interview with them and their team to see what they were doing. We found validation in some of their practices we’ve identified that lead to greater proficiency in reading.”

The school was presented a $1,000 check by TalentFirst for earning the “Literacy Leader Award” as well as given a tribute by Kunse that was signed by state leaders, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, to commemorate the occasion.

“I’m honored to be a part of your day.” Kunse said to the audience.

When asking two Riverview teachers, Carrie Beeney and Chris Hearth, they said they believe it’s the connection with the students that sets them apart.

“We make sure to hang out and greet the kids every morning,” Beeney said. “Building relationships is key.”

“With the students, they always know where they are at and where they need to be,” Hearth said. “Everyone continues to grow at their own pace.”

Riverview is one of five elementaries receiving the award across West Michigan.
