Cindy Raimer

Director of Education

I am honored and excited to be able to lead The Riveredge School as the Director of Education.
I am passionate about instilling a love of nature, demonstrating the value of community, and
embracing the curiosity and wonder in our students. Nothing makes me more excited than
project based learning. I love teaching children to communicate with their peers, collaborate on
designs and solutions, and look to nature for inspiration. There is no better instruction manual.

My parents instilled a deep respect and love of nature in me from a youth filled with adventures
in the natural world. We went hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, caving, climbing, rappelling and
fishing. They provided me with a wealth of experiences and an appreciation for travel and
discovery.

I have had a wide range of experiences in public education over the past 25 years; as a parent,
para, teacher, volunteer and treasurer of a PTO, and an elected school board member. These
experiences have given me an appreciation and respect for each member of our school
community and the role they play in its success.

My husband and I have 3 wonderful children, who all inherited my love of adventure! The water
is our happy place and we have tried most watersports, from paddle boarding, kayaking,
waterskiing, and wake surfing. When we aren’t on a body of water you can find me enjoying a
great book in a scenic location. Our family also includes two cats and an assortment of other
critters. During the pandemic, we became fosters for the WI Humane Society and we have
bottle fed, loved and nurtured 38 kittens on their path to their “furever” homes.
