Message from Dr. Ramirez
Fall is here and so is our Homecoming Week. We have a week full of activities planned by students for students and our community. Our Homecoming week begins on Thursday and ends on Friday, October 30. We will be following all of our health and safety protocols.
I ask all of you to support our various activities. We kick off with a rally and homecoming football game where will introduce this year's Homecoming Court. Even if you aren't a football person, come out and help us show our Red Wolves PRIDE!!!
In addition to activities you all can come to, we are holding our first Fall Concert on December 19th! Read below for more information.
Finally, come out and see the conference Champions and number one ranked volleyball team in the state (in East 3A), our very own Red Wolves volleyball team! Tournament play begins this week.
I look forward to seeing you at our many events planned this month.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ramirez

Photographer needed: Cedar Ridge Athletic Boosters is looking for a volunteer photographer. This is someone who can be on campus to capture a few pictures of in-season workouts/practices each week and then photograph home games of all in-season sports. We want to be inclusive to all in-season sports and athletes. This would be a great opportunity for a student or a parent who is currently active or wants to be more active on campus. If interested, please email Mrs. Bradsher at cridgeathletics@gmail.com
YOU GOTTA SEE OUTDOOR Fall Concert: Mr. Cvijanovic would like to invite our faculty and staff to the Fall Concert this Tuesday at 6:00 PM. This will be the first live event with an audience since December of 2019. We hope you'll consider coming out to listen to our student musicians.
The performance will take place in front of the main lobby, and in order to have enough available seating for families to socially distance, we will be using the row of parking spaces closest to the building for additional seating. If you typically park here, please move your car to the back row by 5:15 on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you all for your support!"
