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.

Attention Parents
On January 10th we held meetings with our seniors where we reviewed some important information related to graduation. Your senior obtained the relevant documentation and a form that requires signatures from the student and parent. If your senior has not discussed this meeting with you yet, please inquire about it as soon as possible. We would appreciate it if you could sign the forms and have them returned to your student's English teacher at your earliest convenience.

Warrior News
This week we took 5 incredible students to Gatlinburg, TN to compete at the FCCLA State Leadership Conference. All of these ladies were first time competitors, and THEY WERE INCREDIBLE.
They received the following awards in their events:
Sabrya Thomas (11) - Chapter Service Project Portfolio (Level 3) - GOLD
Alexandra Barajas-Urdiera (11) - Focus on Children (Level 3) - GOLD
Evie Harlan (9)/Mary Puac-Perez (9)/Adysen Segroves (9) - Chapter Service Project Display (Level 2) - GOLD
For those keeping up, that means Riverdale FCCLA got a CLEAN SWEEP of 1ST PLACE and have the opportunity compete at Nationals this summer in Seattle, Washington. These girls worked their tails off on their projects, and we were blown away by the dedication, perseverance, great attitudes, and Warrior Spirit these girls had. To say we are proud is an understatement. The girls are overjoyed to be bringing home some hardware and are looking forward to enjoying their spring break after 3 days of very little sleep, leadership sessions, and competition.
Does your student need a little extra help with their school work?
