Mrs. Schultz and RHS Student Council are once again collecting non-parishable food to donate to the local food pantry. Donations can be brought in thru Friday, December 16. Thanks for your support!   Another Homecoming Week at Ridgeview is in the books! This years theme was Ridgeview's Red Carpet Affair. The high school students and staff participated in different themed days, activities and contests last week. Starting things off on Monday: "I woke up like this" pajama day! Tuesday: Multiplicity or Opposites Wednesday: Hollywood Thursday: Color Wars & Greek Games Friday: Spirit Day, Class Skits & Pep Ralley  Mrs. Schultz takes Ridgeview National Honor Society and Student Council Members to 5 Points Theater, in Washington, IL. Our students attended a conference, with keynote speaker Mike Smith, from 8:30am-12pm on school climate, making connections with peers and adults, and building character of students inside and outside the classroom. After the Jostens Renaissance conference, our students stayed for a separate conference with all students in the HOIC on IHSA Sportsmanship. They heard briefly again from Mike Smith and Steve Reschke, the President of the HOIC Executive Board. Mr. Reschke also addressed the students on relative topics to sportsmanship within our conference. For over 25 years, Jostens has partnered with educators to renew school climate and culture through Jostens Renaissance® Education. Thousands of schools across North America are proud to call themselves “Jostens Renaissance” schools, sharing a sense of pride that is reflected in the results seen in improved academic performance, behavior, student engagement, and overall school spirit. These 18 Ridgeview students had the opportunity to listen to Mike Smith talk about focusing on the following tenets: building the character of students inside and outside the classroom; enhance and grow connections with peers, parents, experts, and all stakeholders; and create a culture of celebration of all achievements to inspire success for the future.
Who is Mike Smith? From his humble beginnings in Imperial, NE, Mike has since founded two non-profits and influenced hundreds of thousands of youth in schools nationwide. Mike lives his life as a “professional teenager” that doubles as a youth motivational speaker and action sports personality. While other professional speakers struggle to remain current, Mike stays relevant by talking about what he’s doing, not what he’s done.

Way to go Mustangs! |
