This is her first year on the CSD Riverside Volleyball Team, and she has already earned a spot on the Varsity team. She is a player with a wonderful example of Character Counts. She is considerate of other teammates and her own behavior. You can trust that she will be at every practice and game. She is fair to everyone on the team regardless of their skills.

On September 12, we played in Hemet Tournament and she earned All-Tournament Player honor. She picked up her skills so quickly by accepting our feedbacks and advices. We know she has the ability to become a talent player at the end of season because of her work ethics. She performed well at Spike Out Tournament at Fremont.

Off the court, she currently maintain a 3.0 GPA. She is able to manage the academic work load along with the volleyball practices, peer mediation, and other organizations. She is always respectful to adults and peers.

Altogether, it is obvious that she cares about her school work and her volleyball team and that she is a great citizen. She is a wonderful example of what a CSD-R student-athlete should be like.

Jared currently has a 3.21 GPA and tremendous school spirit! He is very involved with many school activities; recently helping out with the Sadie Hawkins dance, volunteering to do lighting for the CSDR pageant, sharing his academic knowledge on the DAB team, and being chosen to represent the Cubs for the Jr. NAD conference in Florida. However busy he is with his many activities, he still gives 100% to the cheer team while maintaining his grade point average. He has attended every game and cheer event during the fall season! He is developing more and more leadership skills as he continues to develop good character traits. He is respectful of his teammates and coaches, and obviously cares about his school and team. I can always count on him to be responsible to let me know when he cannot arrive on time for practice due to volunteering for other activities. In addition, he demonstrated great citizenship when he found an iPhone on the grass and gave it to me to try and locate its owner. Jared is a wonderful role model for our CSDR students.
