Athletics News:
The fall standings have just been released by the OSAA for the annual Oregonian Cup. Currently Riverdale is in first place with a total of 1033 points, and hold a 278 point lead over 2nd place Kennedy. The Oregonian Cup began in 1999 as a way to recognize overall excellence by schools in academics, activities and athletics. The Oregonian began sponsoring the award in February 2002. The award honors a school's students, teachers, coaches and the entire school community. Schools earn points based on their participation and finish in OSAA State Championships and for Top 10 finishes in the OSAA Academic All-State Program, sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Oregon. A sportsmanship component, whereby schools are awarded points each season for having no ejections, is included as well. The points are updated and released at the end of Fall and Winter seasons and totaled at the end of the year. The school earning the highest points in each classification receives a commemorative trophy from The Oregonian and the OSAA. Last year Riverdale finished 4th overall in the 2A standings.

Model United Nations Fundraiser during January conferences!
 |
| RHS Model United Nations Representatives ready to serve you! |
Remember to bring a few dollars to January conferences! Your purchase of coffee and hot chocolate will help our RHS Model UN raise enough money to attend the annual conference in Eugene in April. Model UN, a new RHS club, offers a unique opportunity for high school students from around the state to run their own United Nations Assembly. Our coffee stand in the gym lobby will be open from 8:30 AM - 8:00 PM on Thursday, January 27 and 8:30 - 12:30 on Friday, January 28. Come by and we will tell you more about this great opportunity! Thanks!
"The idea of MUN is to increase student understanding of world affairs and to offer an opportunity for students to lead a model United Nations Assembly. MUN is non-competitive. Instead, it encourages students to learn about other countries, speak in public, write, discuss world issues, collaborate, negotiate, and develop new friendships."
