RIDGEFIELD — On Nov. 14, Ridgefield School District officials recognized the November 2023 Employee and Students of the Month.
The November employee of the month is Ben Eavenson, a math professional at Ridgefield High School.
According to the nomination, Eavenson comes to work with both joy and enthusiasm, and has a skill set of knowledge and patience that benefits everyone who comes in contact with him. His colleagues in the math department said: “Ben goes above and beyond every day. Ever since he first started and his job description was still being created, he was eager and ready to help. Ben has great relationships with students and makes a meaningful difference for those that need it the most. He is always up for whatever the math department needs him to do. For instance, the after-school tutoring program and the testing center are essential programs and would not exist without him. We are proud to call Ben a colleague and friend and think there is no one better for this award.” That extends outside the classroom as well. On any given night, you may see him at a school concert, play, game or match.
The November students of the month are: Pre-K student at the Early Learning Center, Jett Morales; second grader at South Ridge Elementary School, Davin Rieger; second grader at Union Ridge Elementary School, Novella Francisco; fifth grader at Wisdom Ridge Academy, Kaiden Maeda; sixth grader at Sunset Ridge Intermediate School, Claire Warren; seventh grader at View Ridge Middle School, Isabelle Yost; Ridgefield High School Junior Tula Gervais.
