D&D Club
Did you catch the D&D bug thanks to Stranger Things, but struggled to find a group to join? Perhaps you were already familiar but faced the same issue - getting people together regularly can be challenging. Maybe you're totally new to Dungeons and Dragons and just need the right opportunity to give it a try!
Exciting news for all of you – Mrs. Riddle is planning to kick off an afterschool D&D club. If you're interested, please fill out the linked form. Completing the survey does not commit you to sign up; it simply helps us gather information to gauge potential interest. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to see Mrs. Riddle in classroom D2. With enough responses, we can progress to the next steps and start scheduling official meetings.

Yearbook Information
Warrior News
On February 13, the Riverdale FCCLA club participated in an education leadership event at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The students had the opportunity to take part in a panel discussion focusing on careers in the hospitality industry, tour the stadium, and enjoy lunch in downtown Nashville. Later in the day, they watched an exciting game between the Nashville Predators and the New Jersey Devils hockey teams. Accompanied by members of the Rockvale and Oakland FCCLA clubs, the field trip proved to be a fun and enriching experience for all involved.
