🎓🎓 Congratulations to Ridgeview High School's Class of 2026!! 🎓🎓

🌲🌲 Senior Trip 2026 🌲🌲 Here are a few pics from our trip to Tahoe. Thank you Lindsy Metz for all your hard work. Without you, this trip does not happen! We are incredibly grateful for everything you do behind the scenes to support our students, helping create memories that last a lifetime. Thank you for always going above and beyond for our kids 💛 On to graduation! This Wednesday, June 3rd at the CMA Church 4pm 🎓

Thursday we joined members of the Magalia Beautification Association for our last work day of the year and it was fantastic! Lots of w**d wacking, raking, and green waste removal. As a bonus we also met Brenda and her horses from Cow Poke Inc in front of the Magalia Pines Baptist Church 🐎

🍓🍫 Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you CC, Sierra, Akeyla, Neveah, Cady, Jordyn, Linda, and Cobis for spending part of your weekend volunteering alongside so many wonderful members of our community at the Paradise Chocolate Fest 💛 You helped create so many special memories for everyone who attended. Seeing what kind, thoughtful young people you truly are while shopping for your mothers and grandmothers made the weekend even more special to me. You all are truly AMAZING, thank you! 🍫🍓

See you tomorrow 🍫🍓

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt" - John Muir (or in this case granite 😉). We will be volunteering at Paradise Chocolate Fest this Saturday but check out The Ridge Hiking Association as they will be visiting the same spot this weekend! And come enjoy some Chocolate afterwards and support youth organizations on the Ridge 🍫

Cinco de Mayo also fell on Taco Tuesday this year, Thanks Shelley Sparkles 🌮🌮🌮
