This week, FBLA launched a new mentorship program called Rising Stars, where high school FBLA members are partnering with 6th graders to smooth the transition into middle school! High schoolers will be checking in with their partners twice a month to offer guidance, support and organization as 6th graders learn to adapt to what can sometimes be an overwhelming new schedule. Students got right to work getting to know their partners and organizing lockers! Thank you Mrs Duffy for organizing this fantastic new program that will benefit everyone involved and continue building the Culture of Excellence we strive for here at Crest Ridge!
Dear Crest Ridge Families!

What a great time we had returning to our monthly House time at the elementary. As part of our social emotional learning curriculum, students meet with their house group (a mix of 10-12 students including 1-3 students from each grade) and participate in activities and discussion about differences, respect, kindness and friendship. Thank you to all the staff for making this a meaningful event that students look forward to.

Varsity volleyball tonight at home vs Archie!!
JH Cougars showed alot of grit to battle back vs a tough Hardin Central team.
Down 14-28 to start the 4th, Cougars fight back and score with 1:00 left on a 40 yard pass from Woolsey to Briscoe to cut the lead 32-34. Cougars convert the 2 point conversion on a Woolsey run to tie the game! Defense got a huge stop at the end of regulation, ending in a 34-34 tie.
