🖤💙 Riverdale Spirit Week is in full swing! 💙🖤
Students and staff are getting into the spirit, and today’s theme was BLACKOUT! From the classrooms to the cafeteria, our Falcons showed up in black and brought plenty of school spirit with them!
We even had a little extra fun along the way! 😄
Great job, Falcons! Keep the spirit going!

The FAFSA application is available now - are you ready? Riverdale is hosting a FAFSA Informational Session on Monday, November 16, at 6:00 pm in the cafeteria. All college-bound seniors and their parents are invited to learn from the University of Findlay's Financial Aid Department on how to fill out the FAFSA and pay for college!

This is what changing the culture looks like!
There are SO many great things happening at Riverdale High School, and today we get to celebrate some of our students who received Positive Referrals!
These students were recognized for making good choices, showing respect, helping others, demonstrating leadership, and simply being great Falcons!
One of our goals this year is to celebrate the positive and make sure our students know that we notice the GOOD things they are doing. We want to create a school where students feel valued, respected, supported, and proud to be a Falcon.
And here’s the exciting part… it’s happening!
Every positive referral represents a student making a difference. Every kind act matters. Every good choice matters. And when we continue to recognize and celebrate those things, we change the culture—one student at a time.
I couldn’t be more proud of these students and the direction we are headed at Riverdale High School!
Let’s keep celebrating the positive!
GO FALCONS!

Learning Bus Safety!
Our K–3rd grade Falcons took part in bus training to learn and practice important bus safety procedures! From getting on and off the bus safely to being responsible riders, our students are learning how to stay safe every step of the way.
Great job, Falcons!

🚨📚 Can You Escape the Evil Grammarian? 📚🚨
Students in Mrs. Bohnam’s 6th Grade ELA class put their grammar skills to the test with the engaging “Escape the Evil Grammarian” lesson! 🔐✏️
Students used what they have learned about parts of speech to solve challenges and strengthen skills that will be important throughout the year. Understanding how words function in a sentence lays the foundation for upcoming work with punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.
These skills also help students become stronger readers as they begin analyzing how authors use vivid verbs, precise adjectives, and varied sentence structures to make their writing more effective.
Learning grammar while solving an escape challenge? That’s a great way to make ELA come alive! 👏💙🤍🦅
