Greetings, Ride Families!
We had a wonderful Valentine's Day at Ride this week. The kids exchanged a valentine with their classmates and enjoyed a small treat. It was a perfect day to practice our character trait of integrity. Integrity is all of our traits wrapped into one; like being friendly, kind, inclusive, respectful, appreciating others, and doing what’s right even when no one is looking.
We have a great week planned when we return to school on Tuesday, February 20th,
Math/Science Night, Thursday, February 22nd, 5:00 - 6:00pm
We are excited to bring this event back to Ride this year. It is a come and go event where you can visit the different classrooms and play and/or participate in different math and science activities. All activities will be inside the building. Therefore, the portables and the playground will be closed. Please do not exit the doors on the East side of the building during this event.
This weekend is a four-day weekend for the kids. They have been working hard and deserve it!!
Have a great weekend. I hope you have a chance to get out and do something fun.
Sincerely,
Megan Burnham
Have a great weekend,
Sincerely,
Megan Burnham
