Spelling Scavenger Hunt

The 5th graders kicked off their spelling lesson with a fun scavenger hunt! Students searched the classroom for spelling word cards, and once they found a card, identified its phonics pattern, wrote a sentence using the word, and drew a picture to match.

Students did a fantastic job collaborating, sharing ideas, and helping one another throughout the activity. It was a fun and engaging way to begin their spelling lessons.

River Ridge is welcoming back, Cayelee Peters. She will be in the Elementary as a 4K aide. Here is more about Cayelee.

Tell Us About Yourself: I grew up in Bagley and am a proud River Ridge High School alum. I’m excited to officially join the River Ridge team full-time for the 2026–2027 school year as one of our 4K aides! Prior to joining River Ridge, I spent the past five years running my own business and working closely within our local community. I’m looking forward to this new chapter, getting to know our students and families, and giving back to the school and community that I’m proud to call home.

Spare Time Activities: Outside of River Ridge, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, being outdoors, and spending time on the river. I also love getting to read a good book whenever I get the chance!

What made you choose to work in Education: I decided to work in education because I was looking for another way to stay involved in and give back to our community. I have always enjoyed working with children, so joining the River Ridge team felt like a natural and meaningful fit.

What is something you would like others to know about you: I’m always up for a good laugh, enjoy trying new things, and love making memories with the people around me. I’m excited for this new adventure at River Ridge and all the fun that comes with it!

A Big Welcome to the River Ridge Staff, Taegan Gillitzer!

Tell Us About Yourself: I am excited to be joining River Ridge! I have been an educator for 9 years and love building relationships, finding creative ways to make learning meaningful, and celebrating successes with students.

What do you enjoy outside of River Ridge: Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my four adult children who live on both sides of the U.S. I am an outdoorsy person who likes to be on the water, fishing, exploring new areas, and stargazing. I am excited to be here and to create new friendships and to be a part of this community!

Why do you choose education: I chose education because I enjoy making a difference in students' lives and helping them discover their strengths. I love building relationships and creating a positive learning environment. After nine years in education, I continue to find the work rewarding and meaningful.

Fun fact about me: I am a pretty easygoing person who believes life is meant to be enjoyed. I love to travel as much as I can, and I am often looking for the next hot spot to travel to.

My favorite sports to watch are football, Go Pack Go!, basketball and I primarily listen to baseball.
