Congratulations to Taya Phillips for being the first student at Ridge View High School to complete the Early Childhood Development and Services pathway! She has successfully completed the three required courses (Parenting, Child Development, and Caring For Early Learners) and thus became eligible to gain school credit while assisting in our district's daycare program. This semester she is spending one period of her school day working in the 'baby room'. Congratulations to Miss Phillips!!!!
This Family and Consumer Science career pathway aligns perfectly with Iowa's most recent Governor's State of the State Address. (Goal: "growing your own child care workforce".)
Yay, FCS!!! Yay, Raptors!!! Claws-up!!!

Ridge View Dance Marathon
Ridge View High school is proud to partner with the University of Iowa Dance Marathon as an off campus, “mini” marathon. We share the UofIDM mission of raising funds to create and sustain projects that provide emotional support and services for children (and their families) with Pediatric Cancer, receiving treatment at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. All money raised at our marathon goes directly to these families, in the form of food and parking vouchers and items needed for hospital stays and treatments.
Our “Mini”Marathon will be January 27, at the Ridge View High School, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. The evening will be filled with dancing, games and activities, such as “No Hair, Don’t Care”, for hair donation. Our marathon has traditionally been supported by students and their individual fundraising efforts, as well as donations from community members and businesses.
We also held Pediatric Cancer Awareness activities and fundraisers in September, the official month for Pediatric Cancer awareness. This year the Ridge View football team wore gold ribbon decals on their helmets, the Ridge View Volleyball team wore gold ribbons in their hair and shoes. The Ridge View cheerleaders wore gold ribbons, the Cross Country team wore gold ribbons and the Marching Band wore yellow bandanas to show their support of this important cause. Mrs. Kohn and her art students also painted yellow ribbons on the football field.
In addition, the Ridge View halls were filled with awareness posters, sharing information and support. We sold Pediatric Cancer Awareness tattoos, buttons and bracelets and held a lemonade stand.
Our High School is committed to this cause and are hoping to reach our goal of $3,000. Please help us make the Ridge View Dance Marathon the greatest yet! We are happy to accept any donations toward our goal and invite all to attend the 2024 Ridge View High School’s Mini Dance Marathon!

Mrs. Warren's Forensics Students showed off their crime scenes they have been working on all semester. Student groups prepared and set up the crime scene- complete with stories, mock interviews, actual evidence, and a police report. The other groups spent today trying to solve the other crimes.
Never fear- no victims were harmed in the creating of the semester projects!
