On the fourth day of summer break, our Rockets wrapped up one final day of painting — this time in the elementary hallway! 🎨🚀

We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Shumaker and the students who continue to use their talents to beautify our campus and community. Their creativity, hard work, and pride in Ridgedale are making a lasting impact for everyone who walks our halls.

Now it’s time for a well-earned break as they rest, recharge, and dream up even more ways to add beauty and inspiration next year! ✨ #SmallSchoolBigThings #BeautyInArt #RocketPride

As our teachers begin their summer break, we'd like to recognize and celebrate Miss Leach on her retirement after 35 years of dedicated service. Thank you for the countless lives you've impacted and the difference you've made in our school community. Wishing you a happy, healthy, and well-deserved retirement!

As summer begins, we're looking back at some outstanding work from our Introduction to Engineering 8 students! ☀️

This spring, students designed and built Occupational Therapy toys for our preschool program, including a latch and key training board, pegboard toy, sand tray, STEM gears and pulley board, and a magnetic fishing game. Using CNC machining, 3D CAD, and 3D printing, they created hands-on tools that help develop fine motor skills, coordination, and problem-solving.

We're proud of the creativity, teamwork, and engineering skills our students demonstrated while making a positive impact on younger learners!

On the third day of summer vacation, the mural was finished! Over the course of this week, more than 30 students in grades K-10 spent their days serving others by helping paint a mural at Marion General Hospital! 🎨🚀

This project was a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community while showcasing the creativity, teamwork, and heart of our students. We are incredibly grateful to Marion General for allowing our students to be part of something so meaningful.

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Shumaker for her creativity, leadership, organization, and countless hours invested in making this project possible. We are also so proud of our students for their dedication, hard work, and joy throughout the process!

GOOD LUCK this evening to the Rocket Track members who will represent the Dale at the OHSAA Regional Track Meet @ Cuyahoga Heights.

What are our Rockets doing on just the SECOND day of summer vacation? 🚀

Eight of our high school students in agriculture and engineering were up bright and early representing Ridgedale as we hosted the Marion Area Workforce Acceleration Collaborative (MAWAC)! Students had the opportunity to collaborate with Marion County and city school representatives, local businesses, and community leaders to discuss workforce development and the future of career opportunities for students.

MAWAC helps connect education and industry, giving the next generation meaningful opportunities to build professional skills, explore career pathways, and prepare for the future through real-world experiences.

We are proud of our students for using their voices to help shape what comes next — not only for themselves, but for future Rockets as well! 🚀

Thank you to Pierson, Alexis, Abbi, Callie, Payton, Elliot, and Breyton for representing Ridgedale so well! Thank you to Mr. Sieg and Mrs. Guthrie for joining in, too!

On the second day of summer break, rain may have delayed Rocket students from finishing the mural at Marion General Hospital, but it didn’t stop their creativity inside the elementary building! A few students helped paint a Kandinsky-inspired mural in the art room, turning a rainy day into a masterpiece in the making. 🎨✨ #SmallSchoolBigThings #ArtistsAtWork #SummerVacation
