Classical Food Fest
In a continuing effort to provide the best possible service for the best possible price, the Classical Food Fest Program has switched hot lunch vendors. Our new vendor is Wok & Roll Teriyaki, the same provider of lunches we used during the month of January. We are excited to announce this change and look forward to working with a vendor with such an exceptional commitment to product and service. Please note that we will continue to provide three hot lunches per week; however, due to schedule conflicts, the new days of lunch service will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. As always, we welcome your feedback and comments concerning this change or any other aspect of the program. Thank you for your patronage!

Mock Trial

Mr. Wicke
Open to high school students
This club teaches students the ins and outs of courtroom trial procedure. Students may either be witnesses or lawyers, but all will learn the fundamentals from our excellent coach, Mr. Tom Martin, a local attorney. At the competition in February, students will compete against other high schools from around the area in front of real district judges, with the chance to move on to the state and even national level tournaments! This year, we will be examining the case of a murdered street performer, which has been reopened due to new evidence incriminating another group of rival street performers. Come join the fun!

Veritas
Tuesdays, 3:15 pm
Room 247
Mrs. Pichel
Veritas is Ridgeview's own journal of student art and literature. All K-12 students may submit art or writing. Students in grades 7-12 are invited to collect and judge submissions, design the layout, assemble the journal using our glue-binding equipment, and raise funds for the project. We hope to publish two editions this year, one for elementary and one for upper school.

"The Ridgeview Classical School in Fort Collins has been rated among the top three schools in Colorado since it was founded in 2001. Its success stands as a sharp rebuke to the dominant anti-intellectual pedagogy of most American schools."

E.D. Hirsch, The Making of Americans.
