Message from Mr. Kingery
Dear Art Rutkin Families,
We all hope that December is off to a good start for everyone today. We are excited to announce that this is the first edition of The Ram Report! Our school newsletter has been officially named. Thank you to everyone of our readers. The Ram Report will continue to be full of current and upcoming information about what is happening at Art Rutkin Elementary and across the Tigard-Tualatin School District.
We are very excited to have our 2nd grade musical performance next week on Dec. 7th at 6:00 PM in the school commons. The students have been working hard with Mrs. McKean and their teacher, Mrs. Barnes, to put on a great show next week. Our first school movie night will also be next week on December 8th at 6:00-8:00 PM. Please join us for a fun evening at the movies here at school next Friday. Look for more information in this newsletter and in the PSO’s newsletter. Thank you to our PSO for another fun event here at Art Rutkin Elementary.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Kind Regards,
Mr. Kingery
Principal
