Unity Day – October 22

Unity Day, started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center in October 2011, is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month. This is a day where our district and campus can come together to send a visible message of building commUNITY through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. The call to action is simple: wear and share the color orange. This vibrant statement becomes a conversation starter, showing support for students who have been bullied and for bullying prevention.

dia de los muertos

We are so excited to let you know about a great opportunity we will have here at Ridgeview in late October. 

As part of a unit in Spanish and World Cultures classes, we will be celebrating Dia de los Muertos by having a large display in the library.  This celebration is a wonderful part of Mexican culture and an opportunity for our community to honor family members who have died.

We are inviting all Ridgeview students to bring in pictures to add to our campus wide ofrenda. If you would like to add a short description to the picture, please do so. If your picture is in a frame, that would be great! All items will be returned to you. 

You may drop off your items in the library or to any World Cultures teacher anytime from now until the end of October. Thank you!
