The exam season has fallen over the Ridge. No more classes or lessons. Students are only going to school to demonstrate all the learning, study, and hard work they've done over the first semester of the 2013-2014 school year. Not only being the period of hard study and work, it is also a landmark moment for another reason. This is the penultimate week of the first semester and marks an end to the classes and teachers we have been comfortably getting to know for the past four and a half months. After next week, we hit a huge reset button and start our classes, learning, and schedule afresh, delving into new subjects and basically entering 'the first day of school" again.
Looking back at the semester that is almost over, we have been having a great year so far at the Ridge. We have had classes that are fun, but also educational, where teacher student interaction is great. But our school has so much more than classes to teach us. We have broken the basic formula for a school and evolved into a community. Our student population is large and interconnected. Thanks to a few successful initiatives, like Link Crew, the different grades understand, interact and know each other, creating the welcoming feel of the school. Also a great way to bond with the other students of different grades are the numerous clubs the school offers. Each club or team has its own merits and uses and there is always a group that will appeal to a student. It is a great way to meet somebody new and get to know the community better. No student comes for just the classes each day and leaves. There is always so much more to do at Iroquois Ridge High School.
While our old classes and teachers will be missed, the next semester is an exciting and refreshing prospect, with new classes, classmates, and opportunities We are entering a brand new day at the Ridge and much is to be looked forward to.
