A few pictures from senior class trip 2023











The 8th-graders had a fantastic time on their trip to the Kalahari in the Wisconsin Dells on Thursday! The students worked extra hard this year to fundraiser for this experience. Only a few more weeks of middle school, and then they will be on to high school!


Wrapping up a big week in Elementary. Fourth grade had their wax museum and demonstrated their research about historical biographies. First grade displayed habitat dioramas that showed what they learned about where and how various animals live. Second grade hatched 22 chicks this week! Things were really happening at River Ridge!







The FFA plant sale is open to the public starting tomorrow! Hours are from 8-12 at the school greenhouse. We will also be open on Saturday the 13th from 8-12. If those hours don't work for you email ptrone@riverridge210.org to set up another time to come in.

Both high school and elementary students had a blast at Ag Day! FFA members led the students through 5 different stations representing different areas of agriculture. Each student also got to take home a flower or tomato plant!








Thank you to Anita Larson from Apple River State Bank for speaking to our Second Grade class on Thursday! We learned about why it's important to save money and how banks can help us keep our money safe.





What a wonderful Ag Day! Elementary students enjoyed interacting with farm animals, eating ice cream, planting flowers, running relay races and learning all about Ag! Thank you, FFA and Mrs Trone for providing us with these engaging opportunities! Thank you Jordan McLane from Citizens State Bank for sponsoring our event & adding to the fun!
