Message from Mrs. Wilken
Dear Trailblazer Families,
Happy Valentine's Day! We have another full week at the Ranch - from Valentine celebrations, Presidents Days, Hand Tile impressions, Family Math Night to continued classroom discussions and lesson that focus on the many contributions of African Americans throughout our history.
We continue to focus on the health and safety of staff and students. We were graciously given the funding to complete our all school walkie talkie project and look forward toward continuing to make Stone Ranch the safest place for all our students.
Thank you to those of you that have participated in the ThoughtExchange survey. If you haven't had a chance, I encourage you to participate. Your voice matters: the district and our school leadership team is listening.

Walkie Talkie Project - Funded!
Thank you Fiske Family Foundation for your support and focus on school safety!
Our Students LOVE Soccer! Any Chance You Do To?
HOWEVER, we are hopeful to find a few committed adults so we can open soccer back up.
We are looking for soccer supervisors to commit to a consistent schedule for 6 weeks. If you can give 1 lunch period - 20 minutes per week, or all lunch periods, 120 minutes 1 time a week, we could use the support. If you are interested or have any questions please add your name to our interest list and Mrs. Wilken or Mrs. Otero will be reaching out to you.
Good Luck Mrs.Teodoro!
