A Message From Principal Smith
Dear Riverwood Families,
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of experiencing our first live IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) personal projects exhibition since before the pandemic. Congratulations to the more than 60 sophomore literature students who were selected to share their impressive work.
The deadline for students to apply to Riverwood’s IB program is this Friday. This application is for IB coursework or the full diploma program (current sophomores only): https://forms.office.com/r/b8sN1zEUii
Congratulations to senior Kaiden Dye who was recently awarded the prestigious POSSE scholarship. She will attend The George Washington University and major in Biology. Read more about her accomplishment in the ‘Raiders in the News’ section below.
On Friday, January 27, we will host our second Riverwood Distinguished Alumni Induction ceremony. We look forward to hearing from and spending time with this class of inductees: Broadway actress Courtenay Collins, High-profile entertainment attorney Bobby Rosenbloum, and Chief Operating Officer of the Secretary of State Gabriel Sterling.

MYP Personal Project Expo
This year's Personal Project Expo was a huge success! About 100 students were invited to share their personal projects with the staff, students, and the Riverwood community. Of the 100 students, approximately 50 students chose to showcase their hard work. Congratulations to all of our presenters on successfully completing your MYP Personal Project!
Also, we would love to thank and acknowledge the teachers who worked so hard to put this together: Laura Guill, Ariel Story, and Lorena Lupas
