Yesterday was the perfect day for the FFA to serve our local farmers. Members cooked and served 275 pork chop meals to all 5 of our communities.
Not only was the weather perfect but it was also National Farmer Day. We want to thank all of our local farmers for their dedication and passion to the agriculture industry. This is always a favorite event among our chapter members as they get to give back to those who continuously support our FFA Chapter!

💙🧠Happy National School Psychology Week!🧠💙
Behind every thriving student is a support system, and our school psychologists are right at the heart of it. School psychologists are key to helping students navigate challenges, build resilience, and unlock their full potential. From supporting mental health and learning needs to creating safe, inclusive environments, your expertise and empathy make our school community stronger every single day.

Happy Coaches Day to the leaders, mentors, and motivators who push us to dig deeper, run faster, and believe in ourselves when the pressure is on. Great coaches teach the game, but the best coaches teach life. Beyond the playbooks and strategy, thank you for teaching discipline, resilience, and teamwork both on and off the field.
Every construction project is full of surprises, and this past week was no exception! While demolition was occurring at the main entrance, a time capsule was uncovered under the 1952 cornerstone. The cornerstone was being removed to be reincorporated into the new addition, but we ended up saving a secret piece of history instead!
Locked away for over 70 years, this little metal box has been sitting right beneath our feet, waiting for its moment in the spotlight. Talk about an unexpected plot twist in the blueprints!
We don’t have plans to open it, as we would like to learn more about it - including if there were specific expectations. We are beginning to dig through yearbooks and newspapers from that time period. If you or someone you know may have additional information, please let us know. Email us at district@ridgeview19.org
Also, we would like to incorporate some of our local school history into the building. If you have Octavia, Saybrook-Arrowsmith, or Ridgeview memorabilia you are willing to part with, please email us a picture of it, and we will be in touch.
Stay tuned! We’ll be sharing more information in the near future!
📚🌟Today is World Teachers' Day! 🌟 📚
Teachers do more than share knowledge—they ignite curiosity, build confidence, and inspire the next generation of dreamers and doers.
To the educators who show up with passion, patience, and purpose every single day: your impact stretches far beyond the walls of the classroom. Thank you for shaping minds, guiding futures, and constantly believing in the potential of every student.

Congratulations to Liam Hawthorne for winning the Stampeded Student Section Student of the Night drawing - Liam was in the crowd at the Volleyball game and his name was drawn. Students must be in the crowd for the drawing - there was no winner at the two previous games so Liam walked away with $75! Thanks to the Ridgeview Athletic Boosters for sponsoring the Stampede Student Section drawings.
