Today, as a double rainbow stretched across the sky, one curious 3rd grader asked, “I wonder what a rainbow tastes like?”
Childlike wonders like this remind us that our world is full of color, curiosity, and awe.

Safety Reminder: School is Back in Session
As the new school year begins, student safety remains our top priority in Ridgway.
Students will be crossing US 550/CO-62 each morning and afternoon, so please slow down, stay alert in school zones, and always yield at crosswalks. Watch for our crossing guards and help ensure students can get to and from school safely.
When approaching school buses, remember to stop whenever the bus stop sign is extended. Never pass a stopped bus, as children may be boarding, exiting, or crossing nearby.
We also ask pet owners to help keep the Ridgway Elementary School field clean and safe. Please pick up after your dogs and take waste home for disposal, since there are no trash cans on the field. Our students use this space for educational activities and outdoor learning, and a clean field means a healthier and safer place to learn and play.
Together, we can make Ridgway a safe, caring, and welcoming community for all.
