Welcome back to River Ridge for the 2019-2020 school year! This year at River Ridge, we will be focusing more on the health and wellness of our students and staff. Our district has created a breakfast fund that will allow kids to eat breakfast for free one week each month! This year we would like to see an increase in our breakfast participation and want to ensure more kids have the opportunity to eat breakfast each day. School breakfast fuels academic success and kids who eat a healthy breakfast do better in math, have higher attendance, and are more likely to graduate.
Our first week of free breakfast will be held September 23- September 27.

The visi-tor’s pass is a way to show that you have signed in and that you are a safe person to be in our hallways.• When you have completed your visit, please return the badge to the office, sign out, and leave through the front doors.
During the School Day (8:00 am – 3:15 pm)
Although set in a “land of colored ice,” this classic tale will warm your heart in its illustrative retelling by a group of fun-loving, imaginative hobgoblins. As they depict the journey of a young girl and her quest
to find her best friend, you may just find yourself believing in malevolent mirrors, yetis, talking reindeer, and snow chickens! Blizzards can come at any moment, so strap on some snowshoes and get ready to discover what it takes to overcome chill-ing obstacles, keep resilience alive, and melt down the Snow Queen’s icy walls.
Auditions will take place at River Ridge on Monday, November 4 at 3:30 in the Multipurpose Room. All students in grades 5K through 12 are encouraged to audi-tion for this year’s MCT production of the SNOW QUEEN!
Thank you to Mark and Kam Fohey for providing housing accommodations for the Tour Actor/Directors again this year.

Attention 7th and 8th Grade Parents
A More Mindful River Ridge by Jackie Kalinowski
Everyone has the ability to bring their undivided attention to what they are doing in the present moment – this is a natural ability. Being mindful is learning how to extend and maintain those moments of focus for increasing amounts of time. The natural ability to focus is converted to a skill through gentle guidance and practice.
Students and teachers can use these skills at any time during the school day when extra attention or a calmer, kinder environment is beneficial. Students can also use these important skills in their lives away from school whenever they feel frustrated, angry or stressed, or when they simply want to accomplish a task or make progress towards a goal.
Our techniques train the brain self-regulation and impulse control to help with emotional regulation and focused attention. After repeated practice neural connections develop which help students access their internal power, and develop constructive habits of thinking and acting.
What does it mean to be mindful?
Come visit the River Ridge Athletic Boosters at the concession stand Friday September 20, dur-ing the homecoming football game. We will be serving Tranels pizza and Culver’s walking tacos.
The Athletic Boosters helps to fund improvements and additions to our athletic program. Including scholar-ships, sports schedules, banners, state meals, senior ath-letic banners and more.

HEALTHY CHANGES FOR THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR ***PLEASE READ***
There will be some healthy changes happening in our school next year. River Ridge received a grant that has allowed us to make improvements towards a healthier school and to our wellness policies.
This next school year in lieu of birthday treats being sent to school to celebrate your child’s birthday, we will be using a birthday cart to celebrate. Your child will be able to pick one small gift for themselves off the cart and then choose a fun activity to do with the entire class during the normal celebration time. Our birth-day cart is being implemented to promote health, physical activity, and equality amongst all students.
Please try and refrain from sending in treats for their birthdays. If you are feeling as though you still want to contribute in some way, please con-sider making a donation to our birthday cart or free breakfast fund.
If you are still not ready to give up treats just yet, please consider all students with allergies and sensitivities and try to send a healthier treat option such as items below:
* Fruit smoothies* Fresh fruit or vegetables* Low fat yogurt* Fruit cups* Trail mix * Whole grain crackers* Pretzels* Popcorn* Low fat cheese* Graham crackers* Low fat pudding* Whole grain tortilla chips and salsa* Bake chips* Whole grain cereal bars
**Gluten friendly and nut free options are strongly encouraged**
