Ravens Day 2025 Showed Up and Showed Out💚🤍💚🤍 Ravens Day at Riverside Middle School was everything it needed to be—fun, loud, full of smiles, and powered by community. Hosted by the Amity Jr. Club, this year’s event brought families together for face painting, photo booths, cheering, and nonstop energy. Thank you to advisors Mrs. Rita Beydoun and Mrs. Fatima Fakhreddine for leading the charge. Board Trustees David Williamson, Billy Amen, Danielle Elzayat, and Najah Jannoun joined host Hassan Beydoun in supporting the celebration. Founders Amad Elzayat and Danielle Elzayatwere proud to see Amity Jr. thriving at the middle school level. El-Sayed Meat Market came through with the perfect grill, Dearborn Nutrition kept the drinks flowing, and dodgeball—kicked off by Council Chair Mo Baydoun and his son Ali B—had the crowd hyped. Another unforgettable day for the Ravens. Let’s keep building.

Congratulations, Crestwood Class of 2025—we are proud of all you’ve achieved and can’t wait to see all you’ll continue to become. 🎓💙
