It's time for another #StaffFeatureFriday!
This week we are featuring Mrs. Colby Cockrill. Colby graduated from ASU-Jonesboro with a BSE in English. She started at CRHS in 2017, and is going on her 4th year here. She is an English teacher, and currently teaches 8th grade English and Reading and 7th grade Reading.
"I believe we can learn so much through literature. We experience foreign feelings, view life through different perspectives, and discover the world outside our normal realm. I get to share this passion with all of my students!
My husband, Hayden, and I have been married for 6 years. We have two lovely boys! In our free time you can find us simply spending time together, golfing, riding horses, or anything else outdoors! I love being a part of the Timberwolf family. Go Timberwolves!!"
Cedar Ridge loves having you, Colby!
These 8th graders spent part of their Thursday doing probability math in Mrs. Dement's RTI class!
Thank you to Vicki Stephenson for sponsoring a Shelter Insurance Scholarship totaling $2000!
Guess who? Just a teacher and her student back in 1983!
It's School Board Appreciation Month! Our school board members volunteer their time to help support public education, and exemplify strong and consistent leadership that is aligned with the community's values.

Today's #StaffFeatureFriday is Mrs. Annette Ward. Annette graduated High School from Tuckerman and then attended ASU. She started at Cord Charlotte in January of 1990 as a Bus Driver, and became the Transportation Director in March of 2016.
"I have 2 sons, Jonathan and Joey and we added Maggie, Joey's wife, last October to our family. I got married to my husband Johnny in 1986 and moved to Charlotte. I had always lived in town, so moving to the country was a shock to my system. Now I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. We live on a small farm with about 25 cows and 4 horses. I really enjoy my job. I love the kids and enjoy making sure they get to school safely. I really don't have too many hobbies, but I do enjoy getting on the tractor and bush hogging. I have always enjoyed any and everything my boys were doing, whether it was rodeoing or playing ball. I attend Swifton First Assembly of God where I teach High School Sunday School class and serve as the Missions Director."
Cedar Ridge is so proud to have someone like you, Mrs. Annette!
Dr. Ashley visited 5th grade students this morning, and they shared their MAP growth data and goals with him after completing language, math, and reading tests.
Thank you Farm Bureau for your generous food pantry donation!

Cedar Ridge FFA hosted its first Stierwalt Cattle Clinic on Saturday, January 4th. We had just over 70 in attendance from across the state and Missouri. Students learned about new equipment, grooming updates, daily care and animal nutrition. The event was held at Charlotte in the Cattlemen’s Livestock Exchange sale barn. Amigos Show Supply sponsored the event making it free to anyone. Plans are in the works for a three day clinic where students bring their own animals!
Congratulations to Lily Mathis for being selected to be Cedar Ridge Elementary Principal for a Day!

Happy #StaffFeatureFriday!
This week, we are spotlighting Mr. Kenneth McSpadden. Kenneth started at Cedar Ridge in 2002, and is currently the Elementary East Facilitator.
"I'm a military brat, born on Lackland AFB, TX. I've been to all states except for Oregon and Hawaii -- went to a different school about every 3 years from moving base to base. I went to Batesville High School for two years, graduated in May 1976, then was back in the Air Force by September 1976. I've worked on fighter planes, F-4, F-16, and then the B-2 Stealth Bomber. I've been to Iceland, and all over Europe. I supported the "Cold War", Desert Storm, War in Bosnia, Iraq-Northern and Southern No-Fly Zones. I eventually retired from USAF in 1999 with 22.5 years, then got my degree while in the AF and did the Troops to Teacher program in AR. Took a few classes while I was substituting and started out as a school secretary until I was an official certified teacher."
Kenneth enjoys running, hiking, timing races, and Mac's Race Timing.
Cedar Ridge is so proud to have someone like you, Mr. McSpadden!
Don't forget! You are invited to the 2nd Annual Community Appreciation Dinner & Butcher Hog Auction!
Thank you to all who served for your bravery and courage. Happy Veterans Day!
