Our WINGS and Alternative Education hens have started laying! We’ll have 3.5 dozen eggs available for pick-up tomorrow, Friday (12/12/25) at the WINGS classroom — 2 cartons with a dozen eggs each and one 18-count carton.
These early eggs are medium-sized with thinner shells, so we’re offering them at a reduced price:

• $3 per 18-count
To claim your eggs, email Keelee Martin at klmartin@ridgerunners.net.
The first three people to schedule a pick-up time will receive the eggs.

GMS Students of the Month for Kindness exemplify what it means to be a true Ridgerunner. These students consistently treat others with compassion, respect, and empathy. They look for opportunities to help classmates, build others up, and create a welcoming environment in our school. Their positive attitudes reflect the Ridgy Way—Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe—and inspire those around them to do the same.
Congratulations, 7th graders Ryder Haynes and Jaedynn Price, and 8th graders Locklyn Ward and Pierce Jones.
A special thank you to Webb & Winkelman Insurance Agency for your continued support of GMS; each student recognized received a $25 gift card.
