PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Dear Ranger Families,
As we progress through the second grading period, we would like to thank you for the continued support and encouragement you have given to your child and to the school. We are very proud of the hard work and effort we've seen from our students during this school year. Communication is always the link in developing partnerships with parents/guardians and the community. We strive to continue to build our partnerships. With this in mind, please check your student's academic progress often in Progress Book. Other sources of communication include our website, newsletters and mobile app. Social and emotional health is extremely important as well. Please reach out to our staff with any needs or concerns. We look forward to continuing to have a fantastic school year!

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION CLUB
This month we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month! Students in the Diversity and Inclusion Club learned about all of the amazing components of Hispanic culture, including the significance of famous Hispanic leaders, celebrations, food, etc. Students were also able to try authentic Hispanic candy. Our goal as a club was to create a collaborative art piece that captured the importance of Hispanic Heritage and its historic individuals. We truly enjoyed learning about Hispanic Heritage and are so proud to display our collage in our building!
Stay tuned for more activities coming soon from this amazing group of students!
