Good afternoon, Rocket families!
This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools, where our mission is to empower students to reach their full potential while focusing on learning, safety, partnerships with our community, and fiscal responsibility. As part of our safety cornerstone, we would like to take a minute to remind students to ensure they are being kind to others, including using kind words. Taking a moment to speak kindly to another person can have long-lasting effects.
Here are some important reminders about events this week and beyond:
The Marion County Spelling Bee is this Tuesday, February 14 at 6pm at Tri Rivers.
This Wednesday, February 15 is our Library Night for families with students in grades PK-2. Join us at the Marion Public Library from 6-7pm to sign up for library cards, find books, and do a craft!
Elementary students will participate in Jump Rope for the Heart on Thursday, February 16.
Families with students going into 9th grade next year should plan to attend our scheduling night this Thursday, February 16, at 7pm in the Jr/Sr High cafeteria.
Don’t forget that there is no school on Friday, February 17, as our staff engages in professional development and on Monday, February 20, as we celebrate Presidents’ Day.
Youth baseball and softball sign ups will take place on Tuesday, February 21 from 5-7pm and Saturday, February 25 from 10am-12pm in the elementary cafeteria.
