Principal Message
Greetings, Ride Families!
Welcome back from Spring Break! We hit the ground running this week. Wednesday, the 4th grade choir attended the Feeder Music Festival at College Park High School. It was an inspirational and invigorating day of our feeder schools
coming together to share in music. The students were incredibly well behaved and seemed to really enjoy the experience of being together with their future classmates. We hope to build on this experience and continue the positive energy for years to come.
Wednesday night was also Ride Night at Spring Creek BBQ. It was a huge turnout and great to see everyone. The food and fellowship was as special as always. Thank you for participating in these events. They are created for you to come out and meet the people in your community and the restaurants give a small percentage back to the PTO.
Tonight is our 40th Anniversary Celebration. We are expecting past students from far and wide! If you get a chance, we hope you can stop by and see some of the nostalgia from years past. It is a come and go event from 5:00 - 6:30pm. Our choir will be singing as well as some students presenting some of Sally K. Ride's most notable accomplishments.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Megan Burnham

You will have the opportunity to sign up to eat in the cafeteria with your child or outside in our gazebo/picnic table area. You will not be able to change locations after signup is complete. If you sign up to eat outside and it rains, you will be unable to move into the building due to limited seating. You may sign up for another day/time.
Each slot is available for two adults and the child you are eating lunch with..
Please see the schedule below for designated grade level lunch visitor’s days. Make sure that you sign up under the correct time slot for your child’s lunchtime. Each student may have two visitors every 3-4 weeks.This ensures every parent has an opportunity to sign up. Remember to bring a valid id when you visit the building.
Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are asking all parents with small children to eat outside in the gazebo area.
