Ridgeview Elementary School students are by far the loudest and wildest student section at Midday Madness! Way to go Mustangs!



Ridgeview Elementary students attended a presentation on safe choices regarding the internet and social media. Thanks to Ben Tracy, Ridgeview alum, for helping to keep children safe online.



Facility Dog New Year's resolutions:
1. **Wag More, Worry Less**
I will wag my tail to spread smiles and help everyone remember it’s okay to take a deep breath.
2. **Be the Best Listener Ever**
I promise to listen to every story and feeling that is shared with me and show you that I care.
3. **Hand Out High-Fives (and Paw-Fives!)**
I will celebrate brave moments, kind choices, and hard work with gentle paw-fives.


Officer Thorndyke agrees--NEW year--NEW winners--SAME great behavior!


Attention K-5th grade parents. Fast bridge testing starts on Monday, January 12th. Please make sure that your student has charged their Chromebook, gets plenty of rest and is eating a good breakfast. Help them to remember to do their best!

Pre-K Parents - Today is a Teacher Institute and there is no school for students Pre-K to 12th grade. Tomorrow is our Pre-K screening day and there is no school for Pre-K students. We look forward to seeing our Pre-K students on Wednesday, January 7th.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 🚀🌕 Our 5th graders took a giant leap at the Challenger Learning Center! Their mission: Build and successfully land a rover on the lunar surface to explore a mysterious lava tube. It wasn’t easy, but through teamwork, critical thinking, and some serious STEM skills, our student-scientists completed the mission with flying colors! 🛰️💻 A massive THANK YOU to Peoples State Bank of Colfax for funding this incredible experience. We are so grateful for your investment in our students' futures and for making this "out of this world" day possible!

Making Spirits Bright (and Volumes Right!) 📏✨
There was no "hibernating" in math class this week! Our 5th graders stayed busy right up until the break, perfecting their Volume Zoo animals.
Students had to calculate the total volume of their creatures, proving that they’ve mastered some big concepts this semester. Now, these animals (and their creators!) are ready for a well-deserved winter nap. 🦁🐼🐵🐘🦜🦥🦒🦘💤

The Student Council sent us into Winter Break with some hilarious Christmas skits! 🎄 They performed "Santapunzel," "The Gingerbread Dude," and "Snow White and the 6 1/2 Reindeer."
Great job to all of our student performers!

Buddy the Elf Breakfast in 4th grade today! Menu: spaghetti noodles, M&Ms, ground up Pop-tarts, and maple syrup!








Making Gingerbread houses is a 1st grade tradition that students look forward to for weeks!! It did not disappoint and students had a blast!










Pretty sure this group is on the nice list!

Reminder that the Elementary Student Council will have its monthly meeting after school on Wednesday, December 17th!
Winter break is right around the corner--and we are still celebrating students who are going above and beyond school expectations! They are finishing the semester strong!


She told Marshall "all she wants for Christmas are her two front teeth!"
