Congratulations to Alain Silverio (V/Riverdale '89, Georgetown '93) MA, Union Theological '00; MEd, Teachers College '11; EdS, St. Peter's ’21! He is the latest recipient of Riverdale Country School’s Ernest McAneny Alumni Spirit Award, which was presented at the school’s all-reunion class cocktail reception last month. This award is traditionally presented to a member of the alumni body in recognition and appreciation of consistent, broad, and substantial service to Riverdale that has had a distinct impact on the school. Alain’s dedication as a Class Correspondent who keeps his classmates connected to each other and the school, as well as his commitment to helping Riverdale in any way he can, truly embodies the spirit of this award. About receiving the honor, Alain said, “Riverdale has been a part of my life for a great amount of time, and I am who I am partly because of them and because of the people I’ve met at Riverdale. I give, I do, I honor the place because it gave to me, honored me, and helped me in the process of growing up.”

With less than a month until the TCS New York City Marathon, our team of alumni runners are getting revved up for race day!

Helen ran the marathon back in 2014 and will be running for team Prep for Prep this November! “It’s a happy coincidence that I get to fulfill my dream of running the marathon again 10 years later,” says Helen, “and I get to do it in service to Prep.
