Dear Rippowam families,
We have another 3 day weekend in honor of Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day. School is closed on Monday, October 14th.
This week our administration team visited a lot of classes. A highlight was watching Ms. Beach’s 6th grade drama class read for various roles in a script Where Is My Mummy? Students chose which character they wanted to read for and went on stage to audition. They were excited and really good! It is going to be hard for Ms. Beach to make the decisions.
We have a lot of exciting events happening in the coming weeks! Make sure you check out our Rippowam Events Calendar for upcoming and planned events.
