🏫✨Happy Principal Appreciation Month! ✨🏫
Strong schools start with strong leaders, and we are so grateful for ours. Today we celebrate our Assistant Principals--Mrs. Reardon and Mr. Cox.
Being a principal means balancing endless roles—visionary, mentor, problem-solver, and the ultimate cheerleader for students and staff alike.
Thank you for your tireless dedication, early mornings, late nights, and the boundless heart you bring to making our school a safe, inspiring place to grow!
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.

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!
