Joselyn is a very helpful and warm-hearted student. She has a sharp wit but is very kind to new students and anyone in need of help. She is a great peer tutor in the ESL program. As a bilingual student, she supports new students as they come to Riverdale to help them have a smooth transition and to make Riverdale their new home. She can often be seen out and about helping new students learn about Riverdale. Joselyn is always willing to help anyone who asks. One teacher stated that Joselyn is “spunky, fun, and a pleasure to have in class!” She is a great example to other Riverdale Warriors.

It's an amazing opportunity to learn more about your areas of interest, to meet students with a similar interest, and to get a feel for life on campus. It will look great on your resume, but it's also something that you'll remember for the rest of your life. And the best part is that most of the Governor's Schools are free! You can find the application HERE
See Mr. Truax for more information. The deadlines begin in November, so don't miss your opportunity!
