The Ridgy Report

Student Council helped plan and facilitate our 3rd nine weeks incentive party. Students are recognized and celebrated for meeting the requirements for good attendance, academics, and behavior.

During our third quarter Academic Pep Assembly, students were recognized for academic performance, perfect attendance, and character awards.

Want to earn our next incentive day party? It will be a fun filled time at The Anchor. Students will have access to the many fun indoor and outdoor games there.
