Basketball at Home
Our fist home basketball games against AIS saw RCMS win 2 of their 3 games. On December 6th all students are invited to attend home games to celebrate our winter sports and athletes with free Chick-fil-A from the foundation.
Thankful for Staff
The administrative team treated each staff member to a Darden's Delights pie, and we did an "attitudes of gratitude" letter writing campaign to provide each staff member a letter of gratitude from another RCMS colleague.
Testing the Design
Recently in Engineering students have been building tetrahedron kites out of straws and string. They studied and implemented various designs, and recently they tested their designs for flight with group members in the carpool lane.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We hope everyone in the Ridgeview United family has a special Thanksgiving and enjoys the time off school from Nov. 22-26. We are thankful for the privilege of educating your children!
Should you know of any family or student needing resources, please pass along these November Break Resources posted on the news section of our website.
