- I love Ridglea Hills. It feels wierd saying I am a former student because and I am now a 6th grader and will be going to Monnig! Well anyways today is the last day at school and I felt the nedd to say something nice about my school.
Teachers- THey are some of the best teachers I have ever met! They are not only there to guide you but they are also you friend. You can't bare to hind anything from them. I can not imagine school without these teachers!
Principal and Vice Principal- Where should I begin? They are always so much fun and they stay on top of things. The Principals are always there to keep us in line when ever we might get a LITTLE rousy.
PTA- WOW! Just the thought of not having such a wonderful PTA would be a nightmare. THey put together all of our events like the Walk-A-Thon, HotDog Supper, Fine Arts Day, Field Day . . . . the list goes on and on. They are also in charge of grade level activites and the PTA puts together wonderful things for the 5th Grade.
Other Students- The other students could not be anymore supportive or caring as anyone I have know of. An example would be as we where walking down the hallway to our formal promotion the 4th graders lined the halls and cheered us on! Trust me, even a 5th Grader like I was until today's promtion I had tons of little friends. The first page was filled up will signitures from pre-k students.
All the people there I will forever cherish in my heart and I have already made plans to visit often. That's why I recommend this school.
