Thomas Harms finished his flag in Ag Mechanics today. It turned out great!

River Ridge would once again like to congratulate our RRSM golfers on their STATE GOLF performances. Both golfers qualified for day 2 of the state event. Camden Flack finished 56th in the state. Thomas Hereau was your STATE CHAMPION with an amazing two day total of 143. We are beyond proud of these two and our entire golf team on an amazing year.

RESCHEDULED: The River Ridge NHS banquet is going to be rescheduled to Monday, October 16th at 5:30PM. The previously scheduled date of October 24th is now in conflict with volleyball regionals which are set by the state. In an effort to meet as many student needs as possible this rescheduled date has been determined to be the best available option. The event will still take place in the library. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Yesterday, the sophomores participated in Manufacturing Day with a full day of exciting experiences! They started their day at Adkins Energy in Lena to tour the facility and learn about all of the jobs available at a biodiesel plant. Tammy's Piggly Wiggly provided us with a delicious lunch and then we made our way to the CTEA to meet with local manufacturing and trade professionals. Students were able to see a solar-powered golf cart and try their hand at VR welding, along with other hands-on activities. We were among over 300 sophomores involved, and a great day was had by all!
