Last week, Ridgway Elementary School students had the opportunity to stick it to their principal, but only if they showed up at the school’s family math night.
Kindergarten through fifth grade teachers organized math games to play and to take home, and every student that made an appearance the evening of Feb. 27 was able to place a piece of tape on Principal Trish Greenwood. Eventually, Greenwood was taped and "suspended" to the wall, thanks to the many attendees and therefore many pieces of tape.
The school’s family math night is an opportunity for students and parents to work together on math skills through interactive games and activities.
At the end of the evening, Greenwood was released from her tape prison.

US 550 Red Mountain Pass will remain closed for an undetermined amount of time due to the significant snow triggered on South Red Mountain. More than a half mile of snow slabs, 10 to 30 ft. deep in some areas, have fallen onto the highway. The snow slide includes an extensive amount of debris, limbs, trees. Extra equipment is needed and has been called in from others areas to clear the highway. 

CDOT emphasizes there is no estimated time of opening Red Mountain Pass at this time.
