Many of you may have heard that our PE teacher, Mr. Will Hogan, was on the field at halftime  during the Bears game on Sunday, December 4, with some lucky Ridge students.  They carried a flag for the "Fuel Up- Play 60" program, representing many schools, teachers, and students throughout Illinois.  Mr. Hogan thanks all of you who supported him with your votes.  Congratulations, Mr. Hogan!  You made us proud!
