Message from Mr. Kingery
Dear Art Rutkin Families,
Thank you for reading the 2nd edition of The Ram Report! We hope to see many of you for our first family movie night this evening. Families are welcome to settle into seating starting at 5:00 PM before the movie starts at 6:00 PM. The Scholastic Book Fair will also be open after school until 7:00 PM. This fundraiser will help add new books in our school library. This is also a great way to get some winter break reading materials and gifts if needed. Thank you to our PSO for supporting another fun family night and our first book fair. We love our PSO!
Our 2nd Grade musical performance was last night and our students did a fantastic job with the support of Mrs. McKean (music) and Mrs. Barnes (2nd grade). We are very grateful to have such an amazing music teacher at Art Rutkin Elementary. We are already excited for the next student performance when we get to the new year.
Please consider joining us for the next PSO meeting on Monday, Dec. 11th at 6:00 PM in the school library. Check out the PSO’s newsletter. There is important information for how to get involved, and upcoming school happenings.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Kingery
Principal
