In Ms. Yancey’s World History class, Ms. Brown led students in the hands-on production of stuffed grape leaves as part of their study of Mediterranean regions, including the Fertile Crescent in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Students explored culture, geography, and history through food. At first, they treated the grape leaves like green eggs and ham, convinced they wouldn’t like them, but after the first bite, everyone was cheering, and many went back for seconds and thirds. #PanthersRISE

Two of Ms. Weaver’s students showed what it truly means to be stewards of their classroom by stepping up to help keep it clean and in working order. When the paper towel dispenser needed refilling, and the teachers couldn’t quite figure it out, these students took initiative, problem-solved, and successfully got it working again! Their pride in their classroom and willingness to help others are excellent examples of responsibility and Panther Pride in action. #PanthersRISE
Our IB Senior History students brought their Move to Global War unit to life through a hands-on “Domino Effect” Play-Doh activity to conclude their Paper 1 review. Working in collaborative groups, students created a chain of interconnected Play-Doh sculptures representing key events such as the Rhineland, Anschluss, Sudetenland, and the invasion of Poland. Each sculpture symbolized a historical decision or reaction. When the first piece was knocked over, students watched the entire chain reaction unfold, visually demonstrating how aggression and appeasement led to World War II. Students then analyzed which event served as the tipping point. They debated how different international responses may have altered history, reinforcing key TOK concepts of historical evidence, interpretation, and cause-and-effect. A powerful example of creative, critical IB learning in action! #PanthersRISE

Several of our RHS AICE Cambridge and IB students recently visited Florida Polytechnic University for an engaging STEM Day Tour! Students learned about the university, explored its academic programs, and participated in hands-on STEM activities that brought science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to life. This opportunity gave our students a glimpse into future career pathways while reinforcing the innovative, real-world learning that defines their programs.
Additionally, FL Polytechnic recognized five of our seniors who have already been accepted to attend there if they choose to do so! We are proud of our Panthers for representing Ridgeview so well! #PanthersRISE

Before the Thanksgiving break, Ms. Wilson’s Technical Theatre 1 students took a deep dive into the world of set design. Working in pairs, they followed the professional formula, starting with research and mood boards, to bring a Thanksgiving-themed prompt to life! The final result? These incredible mini models. We are so impressed by their attention to detail and design skills. Way to go, designers! #PanthersRISE

Our Early Childhood Education program sent home a creative project inviting our Little Paws and their families to work together to “Disguise a Turkey,” and the results were fantastic! Families used their imaginations to transform each turkey into superheroes, princesses, animals, and so much more. Students proudly returned their creations, and our ECE students then showcased them in this adorable hallway display. We love seeing the creativity, collaboration, and family involvement that make early learning so meaningful for our Little Panthers! #PanthersRISE

In November, our National Technical Honor Society honored returning members with their 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-year pins and proudly inducted 22 new members. We are so proud of these Panthers for their dedication to academic excellence and career & technical education. #PanthersRISE
