Let’s give a shout out to our graduating seniors -- our theater program will certainly miss their contributions. Our actors: Amy R, Adair C, Negar S, Taylor G, Ben C, Nick C and Amy T. Our musicians - Colin T on guitar and Ariel C on the flute. Our stage manager Josh I and the assistant director Anna S as well as crew members Mariah A, Maya V, Chris E, Kaitlyn K and Maddy B.
So many parents and families gave so much of their time and energy to this show, with them the performance was a huge success, thank you! Special thanks to volunteer support “staffers”, without whom, this would not have been possible: Roberta Kaplan who oversaw all the technical needs of the show, Ariel Shatan who handled our box office and house management, and Carla Waring who handled our marketing and communications. A special thanks to our amazing set dad, Paul Condon, prop mistress - Yvonne Green and costumer Debby Barany. Michelle Horgan and Dan Palma provided coaching and consultation making it possible to keep on track. Dan Palma donated his time playing saxophone in the band. Thanks to our lighting and sound designer Michael Wax, a Riverdale alumni who came all the way from Chicago to support his Alma mater. A special thanks to our music director Tyler Evans, our choreographer Stephanie Andersen, and our much appreciated director John Monteverde!
Finally, a great thank you to the PTC for their generous donation that helped to underwrite our performance venue this year. The students appreciated performing in a professional workspace. Their support of the theater program is critical. Thank you.
This has been a wonderful experience for all of us and has really shown what an exceptional group of families, students and faculty we have at Riverdale.
Athletics:

Student Achievement:
Eleanor V B - GOLD KEY Award for Poetry - Scholastic Art and Writing Awards
Her poem is below --
Boxed-In Rain
At nighttime, I like to think
Of rabbit-raced brambles
And heated midday dirt.
Blueberries tarter than going a day
Without seeing you.
I bled till raw,
I picked it pink.
And it hurt, and it hurt.
But I forgave the things I went through.
If you don’t remember, you must forget
Unequivocal stares
And boxed-in rain.
Cross-stitched knuckles folded
Under covers,
Our secrets piled
Like dust.
Everything I don’t want is everything that does.
Back-seat stories,
Spoken ghosts I created.
Split in two if you must,
But please, speak the words as we did.
Then when my water begins to rust,
And like you I brave my fears
The dirt is hot, the berries bright,
And we don’t disappear.
Massai Warrior and Elder Sabore Ole Oyie
