The Constructing America trip to Washington D.C. has been running smoothly for ten years now, and Riverdale has gotten it down to a science. As a result, not much will be changing for this year’s junior class. However, there will be a few minor tweaks, as factors out of the school’s control require minor adjustments, and lessons from previous trips suggest slight improvements.
November 19, 2019 held a special promise for the Riverdale community: a day off classes. However, One World Day proved to be so much more. On this day, high schoolers listened to poetry, wrote stories, attended workshops, participated in improv, and even indulged in a donut wall and a chocolate fountain, all with the goal of coming together as a community to explore storytelling.
