Principal’s Message

Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,

The Walk-a-thon is almost here! On Friday, October 28th, Los Ranchos Roadrunners will be walking, skipping, running, and sometimes cartwheeling around the quarter mile course  for a full hour. The Walk-a-thon is a fun event for all. An hour is a long time but kids are inspired by the encouragement of each other, their big buddies, parents, grandparents and friends who line the course providing water, cheers and high fives. Ultimately the goal of the Walk-a-thon is to be a successful fundraiser. The money raised pays for countless materials, enrichment programs and some essential supports. I appreciate that our PTA sponsors such a fun and memorable event for raising money.

I hope you can join us for the cheering and the picnic lunch that follows.  
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
