Rosie L.— Oregon's 2025 Kid Governor

Riverdale 5th Grader Elected Oregon’s 2025 Kid Governor!

We are thrilled to share that Rosie L., a 5th grader at Riverdale Grade School, was elected as Oregon’s 2025 Kid Governor! Deputy Secretary of State Cheryl Myers visited Riverdale to personally share the exciting news and celebrate Rosie's remarkable achievement.

Rosie earned this prestigious honor with her inspiring platform addressing climate change through a three-point plan:

• Act in your home to reduce your environmental impact.
• Class meetings to educate and inspire peers.
• Share your knowledge to create a ripple effect of action.

Her efforts will shine a spotlight on climate action and represent Riverdale with pride across Oregon! Rosie will be sworn in for her term at the Oregon State Capitol in January. Her passion, leadership, and dedication will serve her well during her term. Rosie was also interviewed on KATU— you can watch her interview and RGS students finding out the great news at a school assembly!

Congratulations, Rosie, on this extraordinary accomplishment and for being a role model to us all!
