Ridgeview had a visit from some special friends today!
Students in Mrs. Toepfer's second grade class received their If I Were a Superhero book this month. They were excited to share what they created with their classmates. Everyone did such a great job creating a story!

Dear parents/guardians,
Today, we were made aware of an alleged threat of violence against the school posted to social media. We immediately involved our School Resource Officer, who was already onsite, to investigate the incident. Out of an abundance of caution we also involved the McLean County Sheriff’s Department, and kept all students and staff indoors.
Law enforcement identified and contained the source of the alleged threat and assured us that at no time were our students or staff in danger. We have been assured by law enforcement that students and staff are safe to attend school and that there is no ongoing threat from this situation. Please do not be alarmed by the additional visibility of law enforcement and our School Resource Officer tomorrow as student and staff safety is our top priority.
I want to thank the Colfax Police Department, the McLean County Sheriff’s Office, and everyone who had a part in quickly resolving this situation.
Sincerely,
Erik Young
Superintendent
Ridgeview CUSD #19

Mrs. Beck's class became a part of the NASA research team in the Discovery Lab at the Challenger Learning Center. They collected data and experimented with light and mirrors to see how the James Webb Telescope functions in space.
Mrs. Beck’s class embarked on a simulated space mission where they worked in Mission Control, launched into space on the space shuttle, and conducted research in the Space Station. They worked as a team to problem solve and had a successful mission to the Challenger Learning Center!
We hope everyone enjoys their winter break and we look forward to seeing everyone in January.
