Dear Rippowam families,
Congratulations to 6th grade science teacher Ms. Kristin Bivona for being nominated by our PTO for the Stamford Public Education Fund Excellence in Education Awards. She was honored at an award ceremony last night where 7th grade students Julian Stephenson and Ty Candio spoke about the benefits of being part of the SPEF mentoring program. Thank you to SPEF and our PTO for celebrating our educators and supporting our young people.
Rippowam Spring Concert and Arts show on Wednesday, May 3rd
The Rippowam Band will be performing 2 concerts on Wednesday May 3rd: A day concert for all students at 1PM and another concert will start at 6:30 PM. Students need to be at Rippowam for 5:45 PM. While performing students may dress as they want for the daytime show, they need to wear a white top and black pants or a long skirt for the evening performance. Student artwork will also be displayed from Miss Frangione and Ms. Arendt.
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming!
The PTO has been sending communications with ways to celebrate our amazing teaching staff. We would also like to invite parents and students to write a personalized note on a digital wall for our school based staff. Please take some time to appreciate the RIPP teachers, counselors or school-based support staff that have supported you this year or at any time during your child’s journey. We will also ask your children to do this at school, but they are welcome to log on at home and do this as well. Thank you in advance for doing this!
