Visit from Springfield City Mayor

Mayor Rob Rue (Ridgewood Class of 1984) visited the school, ate lunch with our students, and read a book to the first grade class about what it means to be a strong leader. The first graders have been learning about citizenship, and LOVED having a chance to hear from “someone famous” as their mystery reader. After shaking the mayor's hand, some earnestly vowed they would never wash their hands again!
