2023 Sap boil = Success!!!











Coming soon, Ridgeview will be having its first ever Spark Festival! In the past we have had an Art Show where all of the hallways are covered in artwork and you got to see all of the things your student has been creating throughout the year. We also have had the annual Variety Show where students were able to show off their talents of singing, dancing, acting, and much much more. You also may have heard of a music contest called Solo and Ensemble where students would prepare a musical piece to be judged by professional musicians.
Well the Spark fest is going to be all of that put together!
This year we will be combining all of the above mentioned and it will be a night filled with the arts. Even if you don't have students in the arts we encourage you to come and see all the work our students have put in over the past year. Attached is a flier outlining all that I just explained with the date and time of the event.
So on behalf of the Ridgeview Art, Music, and Theatre Department I hope to see you all on May 4th at 5 pm!


This year's annual sap boil will take place on Sunday at the elementary playground lot! If you are bored, feel free to stop by and witness the process! We have about 40 gallons of sap which should take all day to boil down into less than 1 gallon of syrup!







"Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life; it's about what you inspire others to do"
Senior Ridgeview FFA Vice President, Annalyn Harper, will receive her State FFA Degree this June at the Illinois State FFA Convention. Ms. Harper met with the Section State Degree committee in February and was officially approved by the state this past week. We can't wait to see you receive your degree on stage!
Junior Ridgeview FFA Secretary, Grace Getty, will also be representing Ridgeview as the 2023-2024 Section 9 Reporter. She was elected last night and is very excited to represent our chapter next year!
Congratulations to these two FFA members on their milestone achievements and recognition. We are so proud of you!
