🌟 Staff Shout-outs: Elementary Staff

Big rounds of applause for our incredible elementary team members who earned Staff Shout-outs last month! 👏✨ There is nothing better than seeing our staff lift each other up and celebrate the hard work happening in every classroom and hallway.

We’re so proud of the culture we’re building together, and we can’t wait to see even more shout-outs roll in this month. Keep that kindness coming! 🍎💫

Ridgeview students participated in the Illinois Music Education All-State choirs, the last weekend of January. 6th grade students: Anne Benton, Ehvilynn Chapman, Ashlyn Donaldson, and Riley Scaggs were selected to participate in the 6th grade All-State Chorus. Alex Kennedy was selected through an audition process to participate in the All-State High School Choir. The 6th graders rehearsed Saturday for their performance; while Kennedy spent three days preparing for his performance on Saturday afternoon.

41 Heart screenings were completed yesterday at school! Thank you to the volunteers from Elite and our parent volunteer for making everything run smoothly. ISU MCN students were also helping during their first day of clinicals at the school. A big thank you to our donors Gibson Area Hospital and Peoples State Bank of Colfax, they have covered the cost making all the screenings free.

Last Friday, Ridgeview CUSD 19 hosted Midday Madness, and the energy was absolutely electric. It wasn’t just about the fun—it was about community. Seeing two districts come together as one was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we support each other.

A massive thank you to Ben Tracy for joining us. His message was incredibly impactful, sparking conversations that we know will continue long after the final whistle. 🎤💬

This was more than just an event; it was a day of lasting memories for everyone in the stands. Check out the highlights! 👇
