HS girls on the road at Holden.


Next week we host the I-70 Conference Tournament, with Lone Jack as a secondary site.
Attached are the brackets for varsity girls and boys.



On December 11th, from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m., Crest Ridge High School and Holden High School will meet for a FAFSA frenzy night in the library of Holden High School.
This night will focus on our college-bound students & various other students interested in applying for financial aid to help with their plans after high school. There to help students and guardians with this process will be the Crest Ridge RootED advisor, Holden's RootED advisor, and staff from MOCAN.
Your student(s) will have these options for transportation:
- Get on the bus at Crest Ridge to drive to Holden & their guardian meets them at Holden
- Both student and guardian get on the bus at Crest Ridge & are driven to Holden together
- Student and Guardian drive to Holden themselves to attend the event
For this event, if you and your student(s) are interested in attending - please have your student check in with Ms. Boyd to accommodate numbers & transportation.
There is an online FSA ID process you have to begin BEFORE the event to make things easier for all involved. So checking in early is essential.
For any questions or concerns, please contact: rboyd@crestridge.org
Thank you!

Thank you for all of your support throughout the competition!
