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!
