It is that time of year again, the time when the big yellow buses are back on the road and the children are out on the sidewalks waiting to be picked up. During times when there are flashing yellow and red lights, drivers need to pay attention because this means that frequent stops are coming soon.

![]() Jeff Keirstead, Principal of Riverside Consolidated School, received a donation of $3,000 from Order of Eastern Star, Winston Churchill Chapter #19, which was presented by Robert Keirstead, Worthy Patron of Winston Churchill Chapter. The donation to the Riverside Consolidated School will be used for the needed upgrades to the site of the “outdoor classroom” on the school’s front lawn, which will include removing topsoil, levelling the ground and adding loads of gravel. An “outdoor classroom” refers to a space outside the traditional classroom where learning can take place. Learning outside is not only beneficial to students' well-being, but it's a great way to stimulate enthusiasm for learning, fostering hands-on education and connection with nature. by David Jacombs
My wife, two sons and I are relatively new to the Fundy Albert area. We moved here from Ontario (which seems to be way more common than we ever thought possible) in the summer of 2022. Our move was greatly influenced by the absolutely beautiful landscape and small, tightly knit communities we discovered on our one and only east coast vacation earlier that year. The surprise of our move, though, was Riverside Consolidated School. by David Jacombs
