Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
We enjoyed the time-honored tradition of Picture Day this week. Students arrived with cascading curls, buttoned up shirts and a little extra dippity-do. Even our P.E. teachers supported the cause by planning activities that required minimum amounts of aerobic exercise and sweat. I want to thank Tiffany Emry for organizing an army of parent volunteers. We couldn’t do it without our you.
Our Chalk Festival and Fall Family Dinner are coming up next Friday. These are two more time-honored traditions at Los Ranchos. I hope you can join us for either or both. The Festival is a wonderful celebration of student art. And, the Fall Family Dinner gives parents and students a lovely opportunity to reconnect and enjoy a delicious meal. I want to thank Barb Beckett for taking the lead on the Chalk Festival and Jenny Quaglino and Whitney Baird for organizing the Fall Family Dinner. I hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
