Ridgeview Jr./Sr. High School

Yanaba Schroeder honored at S.A.R. event The Sons’ of the American Revolution General Bartholomew Chapter had their spring meeting on April 7th. 20 seniors from McClean county and the surrounding area were honored at this event. Each school had a nominee that was voted on by the faculty and the students. Of these 20 students, 2 won $1000 scholarships to be used at the college of their choice. Carter Coffman was one of those winners. He is a Lexington senior who played on the Ridgeview/Lexington co op football team. The other student was Yanaba Schroeder from Ridgeview. Yanaba spent last summer doing soil research in Arizona. She worked on the Navajo reservation. Yanaba is half Navajo so it was a very rewarding experience to do research that could be an improvement to her people and the reservation. She has presented her findings to the University of Illinois and Illinois State University. This was a great day for small schools in eastern McClean county.

Next week is testing week for the Junior High. Students will be taking the Illinois Assessment of Readiness and will be tested in the areas of Math and ELA. Attendance next week is very important. Please send kids to school on time with a charged Chromebook and a pair of headphones. If students need headphones they can be purchased in the office for $1. Have a great weekend and get plenty of rest, so you are ready to go on Monday!
