On Thursday, Jan. 9 students and staff treated senior citizens in the community to an afternoon out. The school’s drama department performed “It’s A Wonderful Life” while student council members helped prepare the cafeteria for lunch. “I love helping and seeing the older people in the community come out,” said junior Abby Harding. “They are always excited and it’s nice to know we helped make their day. She and her classmate Maddy Colvin helped set out desserts while their special guests enjoyed the play. “I like talking to the older people and seeing them smile,” Colvin said. BECOME A FIREFIGHTER Bobbe and Doug Owens had to miss the play this year, but were able to come for lunch. “It’s nice to come see everybody,” Bobbe said. They do not have any grandchildren at the school, but their children did attend Ridgewood. “We come to support the kids and visit with people,” Doug said. Student council advisors Savannah Gress and Rebec- ca Wells got the students in the cafeteria organized and gave them tips on serving their guests. “We do this to get community members into the school,” Gress said. “They get to see the students in action with the play and the student council members who help serve.” In addition to lunch, those in attendance also had the chance to win door prizes. Several were donated by area businesses and others were handmade by student council members.
