Ridgeview Jr./Sr. High School

Ridgeview Theatre fall play performances this Thursday, October 29 and Friday, October 30 in the high school gymnasium.

A cast of eccentric characters meet at a mansion, only to become suspects of a murder that a singular genius detective will eventually solve. But what happens when all the suspects are the detectives? Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, Miss Marple, and Batman are just a few of the guests. Too Many Detectives at the Murder Mansion is a whodunnit that will leave you laughing and guessing right until the very end.

Performances Thursday, October 29 and Friday, October 30 at 7:00pm. Doors open at 6:30pm. Admission $7, wear a costume and enter for $5.

Last week the FFA Soybean plot was harvested. Huge thank you to Getty Farms for harvesting the plot and with the help of Evergreen FS. We can wait to get the results back to analyze the different varieties! 🚜

Today was Senior Service Day! These seniors volunteered four hours of their day to help clean up the CRP storage shed behind the Legion. They even built a new shelving rack and hauled two trailer loads out. It looks so much better!

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.
