Attorney General Brad Schimel announced a list

Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the River Ridge School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-priced school meals are typically unavailable. Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer River Ridge School District cafeteria. Breakfast will be served from 7:45 AM to 8:15 AM and lunch will be served from 11:25 AM to 12:25 PM. Breakfast and lunch will be served Monday thru Thursday, July 9 through August 2. Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
Schools from around the state learned the week of April 16-20 that they are among 135 being recognized for their success in educating students. On that list were River Ridge Elementary and River Ridge Upper Elementary Schools. All of the schools recognized receive federal Title 1 funding to provide services to high numbers or high percentages of economically disadvantaged families.
"The state's Title 1 Schools of Recognition awards recognize the efforts of students, their families, teachers, school administrators, and school staff members to break the link between poverty and low academic achievement," said State Superintendent Tony Evers. "Their success is something to celebrate."
Dr. Athey and Jen Mohn will represent River Ridge Schools at the May 21 awards ceremony at the State Capitol. Schools meeting all criteria will receive a plaque at the awards ceremony.
The River Ridge School and District report cards this year indicate that we are meeting expectations in most areas, with some work to do on student growth and closing the gaps at the middle school level. Read more and view report card
