Best of luck to the Lexington-Ridgeview Comp Cheer team today as they compete in the IHSA State Finals! They will perform at 9:40 am. The finals can be viewed on the NFHS Website, search IHSA, or can be seen in person at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington.
Those were the quickest 2 hours of our lives! They all made amazing work in that time. Our prompt was to create a trophy for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. It also had to be 3ft tall and could not include color. It had to be the color of cardboard.
The voting for the art throw down will be out somewhat soon. They said it could be an hour or it could be up tomorrow. I suggest if you go to vote to use a laptop to view the pieces it is much better quality, but you still can see on your phones and vote there as well. You can also see all of the cardboard sculptures from all the schools that participated.

Our teams both did very well and we had fun! Can't wait for next year's rounds of Art Throwdowns! #artthrowdown2026 #artconnected

The last two days these 10 Greenhand FFA members attended the FFA Ground Zero Conference in Springfield. Students took a personal growth journey by exploring outer space! We had a full day of sessions yesterday, had dinner at Texas Roadhouse, explored at Scheels, and ended the night with other FFA members.
They are in their final session preparing to put to work the things they have learned to start up their FFA Careers!
This week our FFA chapter hosted the Section 9 Public Speaking contest. We had 4 students compete in this contest as well!
Max Mason & Chay Fisher competed in Varsity Extemporaneous where they drew a topic out of a bag and then had 30 minutes to prepare a speech to present to a panel of judges.
Ethan Neuhaus & Eli Burmaster competed in Creed Speaking where they recited the 5 paragraph FFA Creed and then answered questions.
Also, Thank you to all of our chapter members and alumni members who attended to help run the contest!
Dear Families,
As we look ahead to the end of the week, I want to inform you we are closely monitoring the extreme cold temperatures forecasted for this Friday.
The safety of our students and staff is always our primary concern. At this time, no decision has been made regarding a change to our school schedule.
We plan to communicate a final decision as early as possible to give you adequate time to prepare. In the event that we are unable to hold in-person classes on Friday, it is highly likely that we will transition to an e-learning day.
Any updates or changes will be shared through our standard communication channels, including our automated calling system, text alerts, email, and the district website.
Thank you for your continued support of Ridgeview Schools!
