Who Are the Ambassadors?
The 8th grade counselor advises the Ambassador Club. Ambassadors are recommended by 7th grade teachers at the end of the school year. Nominations are based on their abilities to act as leaders and strong role-models for their peers. Students need to be motivated, outgoing, and high-achieving.
The goal of the Ambassadors Club is to provide a positive experience for incoming new students, to assist school counselors in mentoring students, to represent River Dell Middle School to the community, and to help sponsor annual charity fundraisers. Ambassadors are highly driven, friendly, and maintain the highest standards of character and academics. Throughout the school year, ambassadors are pulled from classes for various events. The club advisor expects these students to keep up with missed assignments and stay ahead of tests and quizzes.
Our Ambassadors are busy all summer helping the Administration with building preparations leading up to opening day. We then kick off the busy start to each school year by pairing up Ambassadors with students who are brand new to the district and help host a New Student Breakfast to welcome them into our school. As the year progresses, Ambassadors are a huge help at events such as 7th grade fall Field Day, the annual Show of Hands Banner (sponsored by the PTO), school concerts, community events, and many fundraising efforts. We are always planning events throughout the year within RDMS and our community and look forward to another successful year ahead with a new group of Ambassadors!
