Mrs. Platt is so kind, fun, and amazing. She truly works so hard for us. I have her 6th hour and that is probably the class that I get most excited for the entire day. I love how she always makes it so fun, and she has gotten to know me more than just a student. She makes her lessons challenging for me and makes me feel welcome and safe. -Brooklyn, 6th grader

8th grade Quizbowl team is undefeated this year. They took 1st place again in the all Elkhorn Quiz bowl.

Mr. Sokolik is helpful in every way. His class is one of the best at making wallets, building rockets. wood working, debating and many more. If I were to choose one study hall, it would be Mr. Sokolik's. Mr Sokolik is always happy to help you with your work and help you turn in missing assignments. Overall Mr. Sokolik is super funny and nice and always knows how to help. -Rahman, 7th grader

The ERMS Stormin' Jazz Band performed at the NSBA State Jazz Festival. They were one of 8 bands to perform at the middle school level.

A big round of applause for our very own, Mya B who won 1st place in the Virginia Frank Memorial Writing Contest, sponsored by Friends of the Omaha Public Library.

The contest challenged students in the grades 5th-8th to write an original work of fiction based on a character from a book that they read on their own. More than 215 entries were submitted making this achievement worth celebrating.

7th graders in our health class are taking a stand against bullying! Today, we're creating powerful anti-bullying posters to spread kindness and respect throughout our school. Let's make our hallways a safe and welcoming place for everyone!

Mr. Harris is very funny. You are also always supportive, kind, helpful, and understanding. Any time I need help, you always help. I enjoy your class so much and you are so very nice. I want to stay in band all the years in middle school, high school, and college. Thank you for everything. -Andrew, 6th grader

6th graders researched how various famous people met their demise then put the information onto a body board!

Check out what is going on in the month of April in our Media Center! 📚🌻🌳

Where do I start, Mrs. Marshall is the definition of what a good teacher is. She cares for her students like they are her own. She wants them to succeed but get work done as well. If I could describe Mrs. Marshall in one word, it would be extravagant. She goes above and beyond for her students. She is so fun to be around, and she has made my 8th grade year at Elkhorn Ridge the best yet. She is always there to talk to you and make you smile and laugh. Without Mrs. Marshall, I would be going crazy. Thank you for all you do for the students and staff Mrs. Marshall. WE LOVE YOU! -Kaylee, 8th grader

Super Schutt takes DC….there’s a new superhero in town!!

Mrs. McKenzie is always there for you, and I feel so comfortable around her. She has the sweetest heart and cares so much for her students. Mrs. McKenzie always has a smile on her face and makes others smile too. She definitely demonstrates RIDGE. -Aubrey, 8th grader

We kicked off Spring Break with a friendly game of 8th grade girls versus the boys! Have a safe and enjoyable break ERMS family! 🏐💪🏼

Mrs. Kammerer is very nice, and makes me feel like I could talk to her. She helps me with my school work and gives me advice on school and things other than school. I'm very thankful that she is my teacher this year. -Jack, 8th grader
