PHENIX CITY, AL- Schools across the Chattahoochee Valley are out for summer break but before adjourning for the year a group of elementary school students in Phenix City got to showcase their stuff for the Phenix City School Board at their May meeting. The students from Ridgecrest Elementary School are members of the first archery team in the Phenix City School System.

During the Tuesday, May 12, 2022 Phenix City Schools May meeting a group of students from Ridgecrest Elementary School attended the board meeting. The students who are members of the first archery team in the Phenix City Schools led the Pledge of Allegiance to start the meeting. The students then got to strut their stuff for members of the board and community members in attendance.

"Their enthusiasm for the sport is unmatched. Coach K does a phenomenal job leading and encouraging them. We were thrilled to have them in attendance on Tuesday. I enjoyed watching them show off their skills and knowledge about archery and how STEM helps them improve their shots," said Superintendent Randy Wilkes.
