Hola cascabeles,

¡Feliz año nuevo! No puedo creerlo, ya es 2024. Recuerdo cuando pensaba que 2002 estaba tan lejos. Tuve suerte de poder pasar las vacaciones descansando, relajándome y pasando tiempo con mis seres queridos. Espero que todos ustedes hayan podido hacer lo mismo.

El resto de este año escolar estará ocupado como siempre. Asegúrese de estar atento a todos los mensajes enviados a través de Class Dojo, especialmente el SMORE mensual. No queremos que te pierdas nada de lo que sucede en nuestra comunidad.

¡BEE lo mejor que puedas!

Amor de cascabel,

Kara Schultz, orgullosa directora de Ridgetop

Howdy Rattlers,

Happy New Year! I can't believe it it 2024 already. I remember when I thought 2002 was so far away. I was lucky to be able to spend the break resting and relaxing and spending time with those that I love. I hope that you all were able to do the same.

The rest of this school year will be busy as ever. Please make sure that you keep your eye on all messages sent through Class Dojo especially the monthly SMORE. We don't want you to miss out on anything happening in our community.

BEE your best!

Rattler love,

Kara Schultz, Proud Ridgetop Principal
