Principal's Message
Hello and happy March! Spring is around the corner and learning is in full swing here at Ripley. This a time of year that students make the most academic and social learning gains. It is also an important time for reminders about healthfulness as we want all children here, on time, everyday to maximize their potential. Please make sure your student(s) is getting plenty of rest, washing his or her hands, and eating well-balanced meals. We love to have full classrooms.
The Read Across America committee has really worked hard to promote reading here at Lake Ripley Elementary. With it being Leap Year, the committee had our students and staff “Leaping into Great Books.” There have been fun dress up days, D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) time, and even high school students visiting classrooms and reading with our kids. It has been so fun to see the excitement generated with reading.
The month of March is a time of transitioning from the many winter activities into the anticipation of spring. As we hope for warmer weather, we want to keep our students focused on continuing to strive to do their best. We appreciate all of the effort you put in at home to ensure this carries over into their school day, as it impacts their academic standing. Thank you to all of our students and families for your efforts and continuous support.
Doing the Right Thing
Fred Rogers, host of “Mister Rogers Neighborhood,”: “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
