This Week at Ramsey
The 6th grade Heart & Sole running team starts this week! Tuesday, March 22 students are to report to Ms. Stedje's classroom (0207) on the garden level at 2:15. Please come prepared to be active! Wear running shoes and comfortable clothes if you have them. It is not too late to sign up if you haven't already. Please go to http://www.gotrtwincities.org/get-involved/register-your-girl to register your student.
MYP
As a Ramsey staff, we'll take that another step further and say that students who come prepared to learn and add to their own knowledge will quickly become more comfortable in classes and ready for what is to come next year. Knowledgeable students don't always get the class material on the first shot, and they may miss a few points on a homework assignment or assessment. Students who are knowledgeable are the ones who put in the work, dedicate themselves to each and every class, and pick themselves up when they don't do as well as they hoped they would.
Speak with your student this week about the importance of hard work, persistence, and the drive to become a knowledgeable Ramsey scholar!
