Yesterday, Ridge View Elementary held an assembly to kick off the countdown to their field day on May 20. The theme is board games. Mr. Burris drew prizes for students who had collected 100 points in his class throughout the school year. Four teachers were chosen to play Twister, and the winner won a prize for their classroom. Mrs. Laws was the winner.
This year, Ms. Snell's Teaching Professions class has hosted 13 district employees as guest speakers. The students learned about the various careers in our district and why our staff chose to be in education. The class wrapped up guests with Mr. Prael yesterday, who reminded students to always do what they love and to always give back to their community. #tigerpride

The students from the school of San José from Fuensalida, Spain, are visiting our students in Warrensburg HS. These students have been communicating with Spanish 1 students through a pen pal project from Maestra Reed’s class. The students from Spain are staying with our Warrensburg students, giving them the opportunity to experience American students' lives.
