In November the RCS 4th and 5th graders, along with some awesome teachers, staff, and parents braved three wintery days at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center. They demonstrated the "Blue Jay Way" by braving some very chilly weather to learn winter survival and pioneer life skills, navigated the high ropes course and had some hands-on fun dissecting owl pellets, doing STEM activities, and demonstrating their archery skills. We are grateful for Mrs. Anderson's and Krings' work to organize this trip; to Mr. Rakovec and the parent chaperones for their assistance throughout the three day two night trip; and to everyone who contributed to the 4th and 5th grade fundraisers that made this trip possible! Check out our FACEBOOK PAGE for more photos of this amazing field trip!

We are thrilled to announce that we are once again collecting milk caps to help raise funds for our student field trips and enrichment programs. That's right, while Kwik Trip's Milk Moola program has been closed, a local member of the dairy industry, Root River IBA LLC, has stepped forward to again support our Classroom Milk Cap Collection competition we are calling Milk Money. Root River IBA LLC will donate 5 cents to our great parent support organizatin RPAC for every milk cap we collect. Our first collection deadline will be Tuesday, December 3rd with our announcement coming at our Winter Holiday Concert on December 7th.

With our new Milk Money Program milk caps (and bag tops) from all processors will be accepted, and a new Milk Money Trophy will be awarded. So start "Rinsing and Saving" those Milk Caps again, and give them to your favorite Ridgeway Community School student or teacher, and time will tell which classroom will be the first winner of the new Milk Money Trophy....will it be Mrs. Meyer's class, or perhaps another class?
