I love Riverdale because there are many exciting events and we have lots of fun! If i ever have to move to a different school i would be sad because i love this school and because i am used to it. I was at Riverdale since kindergarten. If i go to college i will promise my teachers and my principal and that i will come visit my best elementary school ever!
