Message from Mr. Enos and Ms. Grim

Riley Avenue has a strong cultural arts committee which offers programming that stimulates student interest in the arts through programs like the Author or Artist in Residence program.

Riley Avenue is a PE Partner with Stony Brook University. Dietician interns from the Department of Family Medicine at SUNY-Stony Brook coordinate a series of short interactive nutrition workshops and exercise classes throughout the year.

A large percentage of our parents volunteer in some capacity throughout the year. Many of Riley's parents bring their expertise into the classroom to provide enrichment to the curriculum through special reading and writing programs or through some application of their scientific knowledge. In the 2009-10 school year, students "Talked with the Astronauts" aboard the International Space Station as part of the ARISS Program.

Riley's Before School Childcare (i.e., Riley's Kids) program is often the organizing arm that involves the entire school in efforts to reach out to the Riverhead community through clothing drives or special knitting projects for children in the hospital, letters and supplies for soldiers in Iraq, or gift bags for shut-ins.

Riley is also well known for its holiday celebrations. Thanksgiving, the
Chinese New Year and St. Patrick's Day are favorites that provide students
with a strong multicultural learning experience.

Another program unique to the Riley Avenue School is its annual gymnastics unit.
