Tonight is the Elementary concert at 6:00 in the big gym! Do you have a family member or friend who would like to attend, but can't get to River Ridge for this event? No worries! River Ridge has NFHS Network to stream events in the big gym. Typically this is used for streaming volleyball or basketball games. This is the first time we will use it for a concert, so it will be a bit of an experiment. But, if you are interested in tuning in, follow this link- https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/river-ridge-high-school-hanover-il/gamca9fc644d5 , search for River Ridge High School in Hanover, IL, click on Middle School Boys and Girls Concert (you will get the elementary concert, be not afraid) and enjoy the concert from the comfort of your own home. If you don't already have an account with NFHS, you will need to subscribe for a month ($13.99) or for the year ($6.67 /month; $79.99 annually) and will have access to lots of events during that time period. Merry! Merry!
