Principal Message
Greetings, Ride Families!
For a short week, it was a really busy and productive week. We have several clubs making great strides.
We have some incredible and talented kids at Sally K. Ride Elementary. Our robotics team, Roboride and roborockets completed their virtual competition piece and the Robotics' Challenge. They have learned so much about building, coding, and completing tasks The DI Teams are all growing in developing and creating their challenge for the bit district competition. And of course, the chess, dance, golf, and tennis kids are getting better everyday. We may have a champion in the making !!
We continue to be so impressed at how kind, caring and diligent our Ride Challengers are every day. We want to thank you for all you do to support the Ride community.
Have a great three day weekend,
Megan Burnham
