Ridgedale Local School District

HS Baseball tournament game for tonight 5/22 is canceled at Danville. Rescheduled date TBD.

Hi Rocket Community! Did you know that working the entry gates for the Marion County Fair is Ridgedale Booster's biggest fundraiser. Our students and families man each gate the entire time the fair is open! This is a huge task for the Rocket faithful! The Marion County Fair is June 30th-July 5th. Each athletic and music program has been assigned a certain number of gate shifts that they must fill. Coaches and advisors will be sending out information soon, if they have not already, to all of their players/participants. We are asking that each student family, involved in a sport or activity, sign up to work at least 1 shift. Working the Marion County Fair Gates is one of the biggest money makers for Ridgedale Boosters. They are a great way to connect with the community, while raising money to support our athletic and music programs.
