Students in Señora Peña’s Spanish 2 class recently brought their learning to life through role-play presentations based on different situations that could happen in a restaurant. Using their Spanish vocabulary and conversational skills, students acted out scenarios to practice ordering food, asking questions, and responding in real-world contexts. Their creativity made the presentations both fun and engaging while strengthening their confidence in speaking the language.

Students in Mr. Nesi’s Art class are bringing creativity to life through hands-on 3D artwork. One of our talented art students recently completed this incredible sculptural mask, carefully designing and constructing it using natural elements, texture, and form to create a striking, nature-inspired composition. Projects like this challenge students to think beyond traditional drawing and painting as they explore balance, structure, and artistic expression in three dimensions. It’s always inspiring to see our Panthers showcase their creativity and turn their ideas into unique works of art! #PanthersRISE

Students in Ms. Yancey’s English class are currently reading their second award-winning book by author Jason Reynolds, Long Way Down. Written in verse, the novel is an accessible yet powerful read that moves quickly while tackling intense themes. As a class, students read sections together before breaking into small groups to slow down the text, analyze key moments, take notes, and share the parts that stand out most to them. This collaborative approach helps students deepen their understanding of the story while building critical-thinking, discussion, and close-reading skills. #PanthersRISE

⏰ Don’t forget to "Spring Forward," Clay County!

Just a friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend! Most people find it easiest to set their clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night before heading to bed—that way, you’re all set for Sunday morning! 🛌✨

While we all adjust to losing that hour of sleep, we’re definitely looking forward to those longer, sunnier afternoons for our students' after-school sports and activities! ☀️

We can’t wait to see all our students arriving safely and right on time this Monday morning to kick off another great week of learning. 🎒✨

Students in Ms. Michaels's and Mr. Gonzalez’s classes were deeply engaged as they worked collaboratively to analyze four poems and make intentional connections to The Great Gatsby. From the start, each group examined how the poems reflected Fitzgerald’s themes of wealth, illusion, perception, tragedy, and the human desire for more. Students took ownership of their texts, closely analyzing words, imagery, tone, and symbolism to uncover deeper meaning. Through shared annotation and purposeful discussion, they supported their ideas with clear textual evidence, referenced characters and events from the novel, and engaged in strong academic dialogue. This is what student-centered instruction looks like: students doing the cognitive work, thinking critically, and making powerful cross-text connections.

Last week, Ridgeview students had the opportunity to attend Construction Career Days, where they explored the many career pathways available in the construction industry through hands-on, real-world experiences. Students participated in interactive Learning Labs led by industry professionals who demonstrated cutting-edge technology and construction techniques, visited the Career Center to learn about internships, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities, and experienced up-close demonstrations of heavy equipment and construction tools, with some even getting the chance to operate machinery under supervision. The event helped our Panthers connect classroom learning to real careers, ask questions directly to professionals, and start envisioning their futures in high-demand fields, reinforcing our commitment to preparing students for success beyond graduation. #PanthersRISE
