This week we celebrated our Teacher of the Year nominees, as well as celebrating our Ross Teacher of the Year... Mrs. Bielicke! Congrats to all! With that being mentioned, Ross truly has a dynamic staff. I have had the distinct honor over the last 4 years to observe the hard work our staff puts in each and every day to ensure that Ross is a place of fostering a love for learning and for others. It is not just our teachers... it is also our cafeteria team, custodians, secretaries, para-professionals, counselors, special education team, teacher assistants, student teachers, bus drivers, parent volunteers, nurses, Parkway facilities team, and so many more.

Please help our Principal's Cabinet leaders reach our school goal of 600 boxes of cereal. Their plan is to collect at least 100 boxes of cereal per grade level to donate to the Parkway Food Pantry. Last year we surpassed our goal and we are hoping to do the same again this year! So far we have collected 121 boxes! Remember... our goal is 600!

PTO's Purple Envelope Campaign will be coming home in backpacks soon! As always, we welcome donations all year round by simply going to the PTO website under Contribute to PTO and scanning the QR code! ALL money raised goes directly back to Ross in a variety of ways. So far we have raised just over $1,000... which is great! However, we would love to raise more! Any amount helps!
