Principal's Message
Dear Ride Families,
February is Black History Month - the traditional time of special awareness of African-Americans' contributions to the nation and world throughout history.
At Ride, we value all types of diversity and are dedicated to creating a community enriched by young women and men of diverse backgrounds and respectful of differences. During this time, we focus on important events and individuals related to African American history using children's books, interviews and illustrators, classroom activities, poetry, online resources, and even documentaries, We celebrate and learn about their lives and the different ways they have contributed to our rich history.
We are very proud of the many ways our students understand and appreciate different ideas and different perspectives. Your sons and daughters are respectful, listen, are empathetic and act wisely; they are well on their way to becoming leaders in our communities.

A Miracle for Ollie
Ride Challengers!
We have an opportunity to help one of our own Ride Families that is in need. Below is a link to watch the story of "ollie" and "Addi". They were featured on KHOU- Channel 11 last Wednesday. If you didn't get a chance to see it, please take a moment to click the link below.
Addi is one of our youngest students who attends our PPCD program, and Ollie is her younger brother. They both have a degenerative genetic disorder called Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). Unfortunately, Addi has progressed passed the point of intervention, however, Ollie still has a chance for a miracle. Please join us in helping this family get the miracle they are needing to save Ollie's life.
