Principal’s Message

Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,

Thank you for making this year’s Open House so memorable.  We had a great kick off by our 6th grade band in the quad. I hope you had a chance to pop into the multipurpose room. Our P.E. teachers, Mrs. Erickson and Ms. Lancaster, had fun activities set up so students could show off some new skills. Classrooms were bursting with this trimester’s projects, publications, art and examples of learning from across the curriculum.  Your enthusiasm and attendance made it all worth it!

Over ninety students participated in Battle of the Books today. Students worked in multi-grade teams, recalling the thematic details of dozens of books they have read over the year. It is an impressive opportunity to combine teamwork and reading. A special thanks goes to Barbara Beckett and Melissa Allen for heading up the event and to their army of parent volunteers.

We hope to see you next Friday, June 2 for our family picnic.  Grab your blanket, fill up a picnic basket and join us from 12:15 - 1:00.  We know there are some parents who can’t make it so plan on making extra room on your blanket to include extra friends and classmates. We invite you to bring an extra blanket or two. Music will be provided by Nikki’s family, Kramer Events, Inc.

I hope you enjoy a lovely Memorial Day weekend.
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
