Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
 |
It feels like an early thanksgiving newsletter. We had so many great events this last week thanks to our dedicated parents. I am grateful for their time and energy.
Melissa Allen and Barbara Beckett led an army of volunteers for a morning of eye popping chalk artwork. It was great to have so many enthusiastic parents throughout the morning supporting the creative process.

Families continued to enjoy the festivities at our Fall Family Dinner. Thank you to everyone who came. It was our biggest one ever!! I want to thank Amy Garrett and the parents who worked to put on the event. Michele Sioredas, Jamie Brow, Erica Espinoza, Angela McConnell, Katie Walsh, Lesley Dierks, Lisa Dumas, Jenny Quaglino and Whitney Baird were all part of Amy’s team. Our very own roadrunning family, Kramer Events, Inc. helped to set a festive tone with music throughout the evening. Roady greeted folks with hugs and showed off some new Roadrunner dance moves.
This was the first year that the PTA worked with a food truck to provide the meals. Every new idea presents new challenges. The Los Ranchos PTA would like to apologize for the long food lines. Expectations were clearly made to Food Truck owner, unfortunately they were overwhelmed. Please be assured that PTA will make every effort to make sure this does not happen again. If you purchased meal tickets and were unable to eat and would like to request a refund, please contact Amy Garrett at agarrettpt@yahoo.com.

We had our first Roadrunner Assembly today. We honored students for being self-directed in addition to citizenship, bravery, perseverance and a number of other character traits that make Los Ranchos a great place to learn and grow. The Los Ranchos Song was bolstered by a talented band of parents and staff. A special thanks to Doug Groshart, Mark Getten, Cherie Hovey and Pam Richerson for their musical contributions. Thank you parents and friends for attending. Your continued and enthusiastic support makes all the difference.

Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
