3rd-5th graders had a special assembly today with Suzi Taylor, a River Ridge alum who now teaches at Montana State University. Suzi presented information about the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project where college and high school students are deployed across the U.S. with equipment that will videotape and collect data about Monday's eclipse. Our students learned about the science behind the eclipse and how engineers have designed the balloons and equipment to collect data so we can learn even more. Please ask your student about what they learned today and tune in on Monday, April 8 to www.eclipse.montana.edu to view the eclipse video from the balloons. Much thanks to Suzi Taylor and her mom, Patsy Geiger, for providing this awesome opportunity for our students.

Due to weather conditions this morning, River Ridge CUSD 210 will be on a 2 hour delay and there will be no preschool classes for today - Wednesday, April 3, 2024.

I know what the weather forecast is for the next few days, but don't lose hope! Warm summer weather is coming and we just might be able to get some swimming days in over the summer break. Check out the swimming lessons offered at the Galena pool!

Fifth grade just completed a unit in ELA on Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream and performed scenes from their readings today for 4th grade and parents. The kids were impressive with their acting, costume design and presentation. Thank you to Mrs Benson, Mrs Albrecht and 5th graders for your hard work and investment in a wonderful learning experience!
