Rattler Review
September 19, 2016
It's go time!
As I reflect on last week, I feel like a proud mom! I really want to shout from the roof top about this staff's dedication and commitment to all students. The conversations from last Wednesday were filled with purpose and passion, and I thank you for that! I can't wait to see the commitments, goals and actions come to life. I am giddy with excitement to brag about each of you during Dr. Troxell's school visit on Monday. Selected students will showcase the great things happening at RRDG during a guided tour. These students are so proud of River Ridge, they would need a whole week instead of one hour!
Feel proud of all that you do on a daily basis and shine!
With joy,
Shelley
