Mr. Schellhorn’s 9th Grade English students kicked off the year with teamwork, creativity, and connection! Students engaged in interactive activities that got them talking, thinking, and working together. From sharing ideas to setting expectations for the year, the focus was on building a supportive and collaborative classroom community. This group is ready to tackle literature, writing, and big ideas, all while supporting one another along the way! #PanthersRISE




Ms. O’Neal’s 1st period senior class is starting the year with positivity and purpose!
The students explored uplifting vocabulary, words to inspire bravery, kindness, leadership, and success, throughout the year. This group is ready to make their senior year shine! #PanthersRISE

Earlier this week, Ms. Bice’s and Mr. Colón’s AICE/IB Music, chorus, and band students kicked off the year with a fun “get to know each other” activity! It was the perfect way to build connections, break the ice, and set the tone for a year filled with collaboration, creativity, and great music. 🎼#PanthersRISE

This week in Cambridge Global Perspectives & Research, Mr. Brown’s students dove into key terms that will guide their learning all year. Through discussion and exploration, they’re building a strong foundation in the vocabulary and concepts essential for success in the course—and setting the stage for deeper analysis and research ahead! #PanthersRISE


Ms. Charles’s Algebra 2 students kicked off the year with a collaborative “Which One Doesn’t Belong?” activity. The twist? There were no wrong answers—just creative thinking! In small groups, students debated which image didn’t fit and then defended their reasoning to the class. It was a lively start to the year that sparked conversation, critical thinking, and teamwork from day one. #PanthersRISE






In Ms. Colón’s CNA class, students explored what teamwork looks like in a healthcare setting. After a thoughtful discussion, they put their collaboration skills to the test with the “Flip the Tarp Challenge”—using a full-size bedsheet! The goal? Work together to flip the sheet without letting it touch the floor. This hands-on activity not only sparked problem-solving and communication, but also gave students a taste of the teamwork that’s essential in healthcare. #PanthersRISE



In Ms. Johnson’s 10th-grade Anatomy & Physiology class, students put their knowledge to the test through an interactive art project. Using two large sheets of paper, one student outlined a silhouette of the human body. Then, as Ms. Johnson called out anatomy structures—like the brain, esophagus, trachea, lungs, and kidneys—students took turns adding them where they believed they belonged. Some placements were spot-on, others were… creative—but that was the fun of it! This engaging review activity was a great way to jog students’ memories from last year while making learning visual and collaborative. #PanthersRISE

On the first day of school, Monday, Ms. Mayfield’s US History students dove right into learning with engaging activities designed to set them up for success. Students collaborated in groups, reviewed expectations, and began exploring the tools and resources they’ll use throughout the year. From thoughtful discussions to focused work time, it’s clear these Panthers are ready to make history! #PanthersRISE





Ms. Revis’s freshman AICE European History students spent their first day exploring the classroom through interactive stations. They moved from spot to spot to learn about classroom expectations, work procedures, and where to find supplies, extra handouts, and textbooks. It was a great way to get students up, moving, and ready for a successful year #PanthersRISE




Mr. Santillan kicked off the school year with a fun and creative activity where his math students expressed how they felt about their first day of math class using a sticky note… and only emojis! From nervous faces to math symbols, every sticky note told a story. This quick, lighthearted activity not only got students thinking outside the box, but also gave everyone a chance to share their feelings in a fun, low-pressure way. It was a great way to build connections and set a positive tone for the year! #PanthersRISE





Yesterday in Ms. Morano's reading classes, students put their teamwork skills to the test with a fun (and tricky!) activity. Each group received a 100-piece puzzle in a ziplock bag—no picture, no clues, just the pieces. They had to collaborate, strategize, and problem-solve to figure out the final image. The first group to finish (or get the closest) took home the prize! #PanthersRISE






Happy first day of school for our Pre-K Little Paws students! We know you are going to have a great year with Ms. Bush, and we cannot wait to watch you grow. #PanthersRISE



In Ms. LaPierre’s culinary class, students got to know each other on the first day in a fun and flavorful way—by asking their tablemates questions based on the color of the Starburst they received. It was a creative way to break the ice, spark conversation, and build connections before diving into cooking this year! #PanthersRISE






First day of school and Beginning Chorus is already hitting all the right notes! At Ridgeview, we believe in starting the year with music, and yesterday our Beginning Chorus students jumped right in—warming up their voices, learning together, and filling the room with energy and excitement. 🐾 #PanthersRISE

Ms. Moore’s U.S. Government and U.S. History classes kicked off the first day with engaging station rotations! Students moved through activities like History Trivia, a Syllabus Scavenger Hunt, logging into Google Classroom, and an All About Me activity with goal setting. This interactive start to the year got students moving, collaborating, and connecting—all while setting the tone for a fantastic year ahead! #PanthersRISE




Ms. Holt’s reading classes kicked off the year with a puzzle challenge—with a twist! After starting in small groups, students faced fun limitations like one-handed building, blindfolds, or a 10-piece max. They had to adapt, strategize, and work together to complete the task—an engaging first-day lesson in teamwork and problem-solving! #PanthersRISE



These outstanding student-athletes represented our school with pride at the Northeast Region Swim Meet for Special Olympics today. Their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship were on full display in every race. We are so proud of their accomplishments in and out of the pool. Way to go, Panthers! 🐾
