Congratulations to Mr. Curtis Fischer-Oelschlaeger for being honored today as one of the RIROE Employees of the Month. Mr. O does an amazing job with all of our choir activities. Last week alone he presented our Veterans' Day Assembly and the Fall Show Choir Concert while also assisting with preparations for our Fall Play and the upcoming Holiday Concerts. Curtis also serves as the President of the Illinois Music Educators Association (ILMEA), which means he devotes extra time to leading music educators and conducting district festivals across the state. He is a tireless advocate for the Arts in our school district!
Chase, Sherman, and Simba from QC CAN Therapy Dogs visited today's Gray Matters meeting. Thank you to their human handlers for bringing them out to share the puppy love!

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission announces its State Scholar Finalists each fall. Students from nearly every high school in Illinois compete in the program. These top performing seniors are selected based on their ACT or SAT scores and their class rank at the end of their junior year. The students rank in approximately the top ten percent of graduates from Illinois high schools, designating their strong academic standing. The Illinois State Scholar designation is a non-monetary award, however it is a tremendous achievement that students can list on college admission and scholarship applications. I am happy to announce that the Rockridge High School Class of 2025 has a total of SEVENTEEN Illinois State Scholars! These students were honored at the November Board Meeting and are listed on a banner that will hang in the State Trophy Case. In addition, these students will be recognized with a certificate and special medallion next May during the Academic Awards Night Program. This year's Illinois State Scholars are Estellah Bognar, Lily Bohnsack, Ava Craver, Charlie Edwards, Alexandra Ehrhardt, Neva Graves, Jackson Hofer, Morgan Hofer, Emily Lathrop, Laikyn Parchert, Emma Redlinger, Lynzi Redman, Ross Richhart, Zachary Smith, Aiden Stahr, Claire Stanforth, & Eriona Zulku.
