Congratulations Derick Swarey!
The Swarey family recently
traveled south for the SpellOff Spelling Bee competition
in Atlanta, Georgia.
As our school finalist and
first place winner at the
District Spelling Bee in
Roanoke, Derick represented our school once again on
Saturday, March 23, as he
participated in the Regional
Spelling Bee Spell-Off.
Derick finished 5th over all
out of 66 spellers and is the
first alternate should one of
the 1st-4th place spellers not
be able to
attend the
National Spelling Bee in
Texas in June.

Crusaders Baseball Team Claim Victory!
Our Crusaders claimed victory over
Mt. View Christian 21-4 last Friday.
The team played hard and ended its
long losing streak.
“David Turner pitched three strong
innings to pick up the win, giving up
only one hit, striking out 7 and
walking none.
The Crusaders pounded out 14 hits,
with Michael Hinson leading the
charge, going 4-5 with 4 RBI, in-
cluding a 2-run double.
Turner
helped himself out with a 3-4 night,
while Ben Misantone added 2 hits
and plated 5 runs. Zack Snyder
added to the hit parade with a triple
in the third inning.
Zack
Swearingen promptly drove him
home with a 2 RBI double.”
Special thanks to Mr. Mike
Misantone for providing this article.

Helpful Health Tips.
Part I; On the go seems to be a common
theme for many families these days and
grabbing supper in a sack seems to be the
only option. You don’t have to feel guilty
about making that choice if you consider
these helpful health tips while eating out.
1.

3.
cheese. Before you eat, grab a
few paper napkins and blot the
excess oil off your pizza. This
saves you a few grams of fat right
off the bat.
4.
Chicken Night: Choose grilled chicken or chicken salad instead of a fried
chicken sandwich. If you’re going for
fast food, skip the order of fries and
order low-fat or fat-free milk (instead
of soda) for the kids.
Mexican Foods: Get vegetarian refried or plain black beans. Opt for soft
tortillas (such as a burrito) instead of
fried taco shells. Replace the cheese
or sour cream with salsa or guacamole.
Italian Foods: Try to avoid
creamy sauces and pesto on pasta that can add a lot of fat and
calories. Instead, try a marinara
sauce, pasta primavera or a clam
sauce. Consider sharing a pasta
entrée and a salad with someone
else.
Coming soon, the SGA will be sponsoring a Health Awareness Day. More
information to follow. Special thanks to
the American Heart Association for the
tips.
Pizza: Opt for a thin crust and double
the vegetables instead of doubling the
Spring Break.
Ya...hoo…
Spring Break
Time!

No School; Enjoy family time

Testing Next Week.
Next week students (Kindergarten—11th)
will be taking the Terra Nova Achievement
Tests.
Testing is scheduled Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
♦
♦
Testing time begins at 8:25 sharp!
Please be aware that if your child arrives
late, there will be no guarantee to make
missed sections!
Dismissal is at 11:30 on these 3 days and
no lunches will be served.
How can you help your
student “test
well”? Here are some pointers:
♦
Get plenty of rest the night before.
Earlier bedtimes mean students are
more likely to have better alert minds.
♦
Getting a full breakfast. Don’t miss
out on this one in the morning rush.
Students who have eaten a full
breakfast have statistically tested
well.
If your child’s class will have a bathroom/snack/ break time, sending a
healthy snack such as
apples,
pretzels, grapes, cheese...etc., would
all be excellent choices to boost brain
power.
Pray and encourage. Some students
are not test “takers” and may feel
anxiety/stress/pressure of taking
tests. Pray with them and encourage
to do their best. Let them know that
while achievement tests are important their effort and grades
throughout the year are just as
important!
Tests will be sent off for scoring and
parents will be notified when the school
receives the final scores.
Thank you for your help and support…
we are truly blessed to have amazing
families and students here at
Ridgeview!

Jelly beans mean more than you think. Share this with your loved ones…
Red: is for the blood He shed
Green: is for the grass He created
Yellow: is for the sun so bright
Orange: is for the edge of night
Black: is for our sins everyday
White: is for His saving grace
Purple: is for the hour of sorrow
Pink: is for our new tomorrow
A bag of jellybeans, oh so sweet, it’s a
prayer, it’s a promise...it’s a reminder
of God’s loving “treat”. (Pam Hall-11th)
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20
