As we approach the end of yet another school year, I would
like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your help, support, and
interest this year. We have had another very busy and successful year in school
and you, as partners in the education of your children, deserve much of the
credit.
I cannot possibly thank everyone in this letter that has
volunteered, contributed, or supported our school because there are so many
people. Whether it the WatchDOG dads overseeing the building for a day, the PTO
who organized numerous successful events, or the countless parents who
volunteered in their students’ classrooms. I thank everyone who has given of their time
and talents to support and improve our school. We could not possibly operate
without the support of our parents and volunteers who give with generous loving
hearts.
The Ravenwood family continues to grow. We’ve added an additional .5 kindergarten
section and I’m pleased to announce that Allysa Reck (currently teaching 1st
grade at Ridgeview Elementary) has accepted this position. Chris Williams (currently teaching 4th grade
at Manchester Park) will be filling Jon Bell’s position. Finally, I’m working with HR to add a fifth
teacher to our 4th grade team.
Several current staff members will be teaching new grade
levels next year. Mrs. Larson will join
the 5th grade team, Ms. Brake will join the 4th grade team, and Mrs. Haun will
work with the 3rd grade team.
We are hard at work on class lists, and I’m anticipating the
traditional move-up day during the last week of school. I’ll be sure to notify you of the exact date.
Today, our students enjoyed field day, but we still have one
more exciting event planned for the entire school. On May 15, students will spend their specials
time enjoying the bounce houses that were planned for the Tiger Trot. I’m disappointed we had to cancel that event—a
majority of the vendors we reserved were already scheduled for other
events. The money raised will once again
fund classroom fieldtrips next year.
Finally, may I would like to take this opportunity to wish
you all a very happy, safe, and enjoyable summer when it eventually arrives.
Hopefully, there will be many opportunities for you to talk to, play with, and
enjoy your children this is time you will never have again! I look forward to
seeing you at Enrollment Day on July 25.
