What a perfect way to mix learning and laughter — science meets spooky season! 🧡🕸️

🎃🍬 Trick-or-Treat… but make it Rider style!

School Resource Officer Estep joined Mrs. Sherman's English II class to provide some perspective on how law enforcement handles difficult situations. They were able to use Officer Estep's thoughts to connect to multiple characters in the book they've been reading and give context to the actions those characters took.

Thanks for taking the time to come into class, Officer Estep!

Flyboy Donuts hosted all of the RISE students yesterday for a Career Day field trip. The students learned about job skills needed to work in the restaurant industry. Stacy from Flyboy did a great job presenting to our students and telling them interesting information about working at a donut shop!

The students had a wonderful time and got to choose their own donut to enjoy! Way to go Riders!
