Today for our School Improvement Day, Elementary teachers were hard at work learning together and teaching each other about orthography (that's a fancy word for spelling). We dug into many spelling rules. For example, did you know there are no words in English that end in the letter v? Our teachers created posters to show the work and talked about how this will help students in the classroom.
Join us for a fun-filled night of trivia! Email mmensendike@riverridge210.org to register your team. The best themed team wins a prize!
Congratulations to the FFA Vet Science team on their 3rd place finish in last night's contest! We were just three points out of first place in this competitive CDE.
