Thank you to the Crest Ridge Education Foundation for funding the 5th grade trip to Jefferson City yesterday. Students were able to tour the Missouri State Capitol as well as the Missouri Supreme Court. In preparation for the trip, students learned about the structure of our government and the functions of each branch. Each student represented Crest Ridge with dignity. It was a terrific learning opportunity for everyone.

Congratulations Cougar Achievers!
