Riverdale Students Advance to Local Civics Bee!

Riverdale Students Advance to Local Civics Bee!

I am thrilled to announce that ten of our 7th and 8th-grade students have placed and will be advancing to the local National Civics Bee! This year's competition challenged students to demonstrate their civics knowledge, identify a community problem, propose a viable solution and connect their ideas to founding principles and civic virtues. Our students excelled in this comprehensive challenge.

The students advancing to the local Civics Bee, held on March 8th at Twality Middle School, are:

• Romi O (7th)
• Ana B (8th)
• Arden L (8th)
• Athanasia G (8th)
• Ella H (8th)
• Emeryn T (8th)
• Emma G (8th)
• Lexi M (8th)
• Willa B (8th)
• Yervant W (8th)

This achievement is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and deep understanding of civic principles. I am incredibly proud of their accomplishment and their commitment to civic engagement and problem-solving. If they place successfully at the local level, they will advance to the state and potentially the national competition. I have no doubt that they will represent our district with pride! You can find more about the National Civics Bee here. 

Thank you for your continued support of our students and their academic endeavors!
