Ridgeview Student Council is sponsoring a Coloring Contest! Entries will be available Monday, December 8 in the office and will be due Monday, December 15. The categories for entering will be K-1, 2-3, and 4-5. Winners will be judged based on neatness and creativity and will be announced Friday, December 19! Good luck and happy coloring!
Leader in Me Service Projects: Last year Ridgeview participated in a school-wide service project in a partnership with Children's Mercy. This year, our students will plan and lead grade level service projects. Our goals are to follow our passion, expand our learning, and give back to others. Our students will be sharing their service project ideas at our December Leadership Assembly. In the spring we will be celebrating with work we have done. Be sure to ask your child about his or her class project.
