Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
I hope you were able to attend the Los Ranchos Celebration of Science and Inventions. Ninety-one inventors and scientists created beautiful displays of their experiments and best thinking. Participants had an opportunity to answer questions and present their findings to interested parents and inquisitive schoolmates. I want to thank the students and families who participated. A special thanks goes to Mr. Becker and Mrs. Gomes for organizing the event!
We have a fun event coming up next week. We hope that you and your children come on Thursday, May 4, for STEAM Night. There will be many activities for you to construct and create, play with and puzzle over. All students are welcomed, but they must be accompanied with a parent/grandparent/guardian. STEAM Night is from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room.
We have the 10th Annual Paul Reinhardt Bike Parade on Friday morning, May 5th. All students are invited to ride. Those who can’t ride will be cheering on the riders. It is especially fun when students decorate their bikes. Balloons are not allowed in the spirit of keeping this safe and fun for everyone. This is a fun event for parents. We always need a few extra hands around the bike ramps. We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
