ACTIVITIES: Otiana Thompson Address Key Leaders

Student Body President Otiana Thompson had the opportunity to speak at the Key Leaders meeting held at R2i2. She presented information about Pocket Points, an app that aims to reduce the amount of time students spend on their cell phones. She was intrigued by this app after Mrs. Cheryl Hunter, Ridge View's Technology and Learning Coach, disseminated information about it around the school. Otiana's hope is that the district will support a competition between the five high schools to earn the most points by putting down their phones and paying attention in class. Thank you Otiana for your vision, leadership, and positive representation of Ridge View!

ACTIVITIES: Ridge View's Blood Drive Was A Success

Ridge View's second Blood Drive of the school year was a huge success! We exceeded our goal by collecting 38 pints of blood. Thank you to all students, faculty, and community members who participated. The final blood drive of the school year will be held on April 30th from 9 AM to 3 PM in the small gym. You can sign up to give today by visiting www.redcrossblood.org and searching for Ridge View's drive. All students, staff and community members over 17 years old are invited to participate. Students who are 16 years old can donate but must have parental permission. Those forms are located outside of M-141. Please contact Ms. Fennell at pfennell@richland2.org if you have any questions!
