We have exciting things happening at the Ridge today!! Today is the second day of our softball/baseball tournament. Both teams play at 3pm today vs Delta. You can sit in the middle and watch both teams! It’s a win win for everyone.
Also, FFA, FCCLA, and FBLA are teaming up for their annual fish fry from 4-7pm. Adult plates are $13 and kids plates are $7. This will be in the HS gym this year and when our games are over today, you can walk up the hill and grab supper before going home. Another win win.
We are also still collecting those donations for the tornado victims of Glen Allen throughout the afternoon today and tomorrow morning.
Best of luck to both BlueJay teams today and you cannot beat this weather. We hope to see you all here.
Thank you PTO for sponsoring Pastries with Parents and a staff luncheon for us today.

Update: The HSSB game scheduled at Scott City has been cancelled. I will let you know if/when I can get a rescheduled date confirmed. Have a great rest of your Wednesday and have a great Easter Break!
Just passing along some information. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.

Just a couple more things this Monday morning to pass along. The Athletic Banquet for all sports teams will be held on 5/12/23 starting at 6pm in the elem gym/Cafeteria. This year's theme is "Let's Taco Bout OR Athletes". Invitations will be passed out to student athletes after Easter Break.
Also, Dr. Glueck has agreed to come to Oak Ridge on Saturday, 5/20/23 from 8am-12pm and do physicals for our student athletes. Physicals can be valid for 2 years (if no concerns) and the cost is $20. A signed note will need to be sent with any student without a guardian present for Dr. Glueck to give the physicals. If you are not sure if your child needs a current physical for next year, just email me (jward@oakridge.k12.mo.us) and I will let you know. If you are going to be a 6th grader next year, you will need a current physical on file if you are playing sports. Also, any marching band student will need to have a current physical on file (new this year).
If you have any questions about any of the above information, please let me know.
