Around the Building

Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week (September 18th - September 24th) is an annual event from The American Library Association that celebrates the freedom to read and spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. Students are encouraged to stop by the Learning Commons to check out the Banned Books display, learn more about censorship, and find out why some of their favorite titles have been challenged.

Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15th to October 15th—and all year round, join the Learning Commons in celebrating  the cultures and contributions of Hispanic Americans. Visit the Learning Commons to view this month's window display featuring works of fiction from Hispanic authors. These books and more are available for checkout in print or in our ebook collections, MackinVia and Sora.

RHS Girls Soccer Senior Night 

On September 20th, the RHS Girls Soccer program held their annual Senior Night honoring the 17 seniors on the team. The Seniors were celebrated by their families and the underclassmen who made posters for each player. To cap off the day, Ridgewood played Hackensack winning 4-0. Immediately following the game, the Varsity team, along with the senior families, were treated to a celebratory BBQ. Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
