"I’m really looking forward to getting deep into how the community works, because I’ve never seen City Hall, never met the Council. And I really like the people we’re with," said Riverwood Sophomore Madeleine Sibert. "We have large amount of students – about one-third are from Riverwood. Not only am I meeting kids from other schools, I’m also getting to know kids from my own school.”
