The Ridgedale National Honor Society is collecting non-perishable food items for the Christmas Clearinghouse Food Drive! 🥫✨

This annual project helps support families right here in Marion County, where the need is especially great this year. Every can or box donated makes a difference for a neighbor in need!

📦 Donations can be brought to homeroom teachers or Mrs. Turner in Room 211 by Friday, November 14. Let’s come together to make the holidays a little brighter for everyone!🌟

🧫 Bubble Lab Fun in Biology!

Students took their learning outside for a hands-on Bubble Lab! Using a special solution that acts like a cell membrane, they explored how membranes are flexible, can self-repair, and are semi-permeable — meaning they only allow certain substances through. A fun and interactive way to see cell science in action! 🌿🔬
