1st grade had our nursing students do a lesson today about brushing their teeth. They learned how many times to brush their teeth a day, what song to sing while brushing their teeth and what foods are good or bad for their teeth. They were also given a goodie bag to take home. Thank you for helping us learn about how important it is to brush our teeth!
Spring break is here---and so are a new round of books in the free library! Stop by the school and enjoy some reading over break! No need to return--enjoy!

Dear Ridgeview Families,
We are aware of the potential for severe weather later today and want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the situation. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we are in communication with local weather authorities to stay informed of any developments.
At this time, all school operations will continue as scheduled. However, we are prepared to take any necessary precautions should conditions change. If any adjustments to dismissal times or activities become necessary, we will notify you immediately through our usual communication channels.
Please stay alert for further updates, and as always, thank you for your support and cooperation.
Mr. Young
Proud Mustang award winners! It's a great day to be a Mustang!
The fresh air felt good last week! Marshall loves greeting students in the morning! You can tell by his excitement that he has missed his kids, likes to check on them and is glad they are all back to school!

Pre-K celebrates Read Across America with a book study of Dr. Seuss books. To go along with the book, Ten Apples on Top, the Pre-K students stacked apples to see how many they could stack on top before they fell. They also worked on number recognition, 1:1 correspondence and counting with our ten apples on top felt board activity.
It's a beautiful day to review some Math outside.
1st grade enjoyed the beautiful weather and practiced their math outside!
