RICEVILLE SCHOLARSHIP FUND INFORMATION

Info about the Riceville Scholarship Fund

The Riceville Scholarship Fund is a donation-based fund built by the community and dispersed to graduating seniors each year. Each year, the senior class takes part in a “Phone-A-Thon” to call members of the community and ask for donations. The Phone-A-Thon was held at the school on April 3rd.

If you would like to donate to this fund, but did not receive a phone call, you are welcome to leave a donation at the First Security Bank & Trust in Riceville, IA and tell them it is for the Riceville Scholarship Fund.

If you would like to be added to the calling list for future Phone-A-Thons, please contact Jaden Bohr (the school counselor) by emailing her at jaden.bohr@riceville.k12.ia.us. Please include your name and phone number in the email.

Thank you for supporting our Senior Wildcats!!

Physics Competition

The Riceville physics class, consisting of Ashley Koenigs, Adrian Balchen, and Morgan Fair, competed in the State of Iowa Physics Competition held at the University of Northern Iowa on April 11th. The students competed in toothpick bridge building, soda straw arm construction, and measurement. Ashley and Adrian placed 7th out of 26 teams in the measurement contest. In the finals, they had to calculate a best estimate of the height of the McLeod Center. Their best estimate was only 32 centimeters away from the actual height. As a team, Riceville finished in a tie for 15th place out of 23 schools
