Fit Games, Law Enforcement Academy Field Trip, Celebrating Joy Windell, Hour of Code, & Fall Final Exam Schedule
D'Ann VanderLaan, the Cedar Ridge PE Department Department Chair, PE teacher, and coach, shared the following information:
"I just had to share some good news about our P.E. department. We took around 70 kids to compete in the Fit Games against all the other four Round Rock High Schools on Wed, Nov. 18th. We had a boys team win 1st & 3rd place, and a girls team win 2nd place out of all the schools. I am including pictures of all our kids and of the winners."

Michelle Langloss, CR Law Enforcement teacher, shared the following information:
"We took the Law club to the Williamson County Juvenile Services Center in Georgetown. 27 students were able to learn about Juvenile Law and pursuing a career as a Juvenile Probation or Supervision Officer. Students were also given a tour of the Juvenile Detention Center, the Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program, and the Academy which is a residential program for youth ordered by the Court. It was a great opportunity for the students. Photos attached below."
