Eat as the Romans Do: Grade 6 Latin Students Celebrate with Annual Cena
Read MoreThe citizens of ancient Pompeii were invited to an elaborate feast recently, as Grade 6 gathered to celebrate the annual cena, or Roman banquet. The occasion, marked by period dress, homemade foods, and a bit of historical roleplay, has been a beloved Rivers tradition for over 25 years, thanks to the passion and preparation of Middle School Latin teacher Cathy Favreau; it gives students a taste (literally) of life in the ancient Roman empire.

MEET RYAN DAHLEM
Our Ninth Head of School
We are delighted to introduce Ryan Dahlem, who began his tenure as Rivers’ ninth head of school on July 1, 2023. Ryan comes to Rivers from St. Margaret’s Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano, CA, where he held numerous leadership roles across the academic and administrative teams. Ryan is a proponent of student-centered education that emphasizes relationships, community, and supported risk-taking. This approach makes him a perfect fit for Rivers and its philosophy of Excellence with Humanity. In the words of Board President Alan D. Rose, Jr., who led the Head of School Search Committee, “Ryan is an inspiring visionary leader with a keen understanding of multiple facets of independent school management and leadership.” We can’t wait to see Rivers’ next chapter unfold under Ryan Dahlem’s guidance.
