A very wet and suddenly chilled Riverside Elementary School Principal Pat Reding emerges from the dunk tank after one of his students hit the paddle with a softball. The dunking was part of the school’s annual field day and as a way to wish Reding farewell. Reding was slated to be the principal at Duncombe in 2009-2010 after four years as principal of both Riverside and Hillcrest Elementary Schools.
