Thank you to the Downtown Springfield Rotary for the donation of oranges to all students in our building! Students were excited to have oranges as a part of their lunch on December 6th. We are thankful for your awesome partnership!



We had an awesome assembly yesterday called the NED Show. Students learned about having a growth mindset and about goal-setting, all while learning yo-yo tricks. Check out the pictures and yo-yo order form!





‘Twas the Night Before the Holiday Shop
...And all through the school not a student was stirring, not even Mrs. Butcher. The gifts were displayed on the tables with care in hopes that the students soon would be there.
We can't wait to see everyone at the holiday shop!
Shopping starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m..

Ridgely Elementary Parents, we are excited to be hosting the Penguin Patch Holiday Shop again this year. Our students will have so much fun secretly shopping for Christmas gifts.
The holiday shop will run from Dec. 8th - Dec. 15th . Each child will have the opportunity to shop independently for gifts for their entire family.
A holiday shop is a great excuse for kids to earn money. Making beds, feeding pets and helping siblings are just a few ideas. The Penguin Patch budget envelopes allow for you and your child to select the amount of money they can spend on each person on their list. Watch for money envelopes to be sent home on Monday!

The Central Illinois Reading Council 1/2 Price Book Sale is coming up in December. Books are great gifts for our students!

Miles of Smiles will be at Ridgely School on Monday and Tuesday. Families signed their student(s) up for this online when they registered for school. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Nurse Iesha.

We were notified by First Student that due to a higher than normal shortage of bus drivers today, there will be buses ruing late to their scheduled bus stop. Please monitor your student's bus stops.
Also, all changes to buses have been entered into the First View App. You can use this app to track your student's bus and be informed of any bus number changes. We appreciate your patience and cooperation this morning.
