It is strawberry season! Our FFA Chapter is selling flats of strawberries once again this year. One flat, 8 quarts, is $30 and a half flat is $18. These are very high quality berries, shipped directly from Florida. Proceeds from the sale help students pay for FFA State Convention, National Convention, FFA Week activities and other events.
Merry Merry! Happy Happy! Warm holidays wishes to you and yours this holiday season from River Ridge Elementary Staff and Students!
The PTO and the high school student council graciously sponsored a fun day of sport and bonding over bowling at Pioneer Lanes in Platteville, WI. It was a great end to the semester for all high school students!
We tend to believe that the holidays are a magical time for children and that the stress of it all is only felt by the adults, but in reality many children also experience emotional distress too.
Plan ahead- act don’t react
Spend time talking (and listening) with your children
Pick your battles
Celebrate togetherness
Also for your teens and pre-teens they can check out this app to support positive mental health. Free on your app store!
"Got your back" App. by J's Foundation. (out of Monroe, WI)
It offers ways to calm, track your moods, daily notifications to help prepare yourself for a good day, and ways to get help if you need it.
