Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
Go Team Los Ranchos! Your kids are going to be tired tonight. From our youngest to our oldest, students walked, ran and raced for a full hour at our Walk-a-thon. They were undaunted by the heat of the day. Students, organizers, parents and staff should feel very proud of their accomplishment today.
An event of this magnitude does not happen magically. It reflects hours and hours of time and energy before, during and after the track is taken down. I want to thank our outstanding Walk-a-thon leadership, Stacey White and Jen Ross. They were supported by an amazing team: Sarah Pederson, Kristin Escalle, Barb Beckett, Joanna Whitcher, Heidi Gill, Erika Schuetze and our eye in the sky photographer, Wolfgang Kaml.
The success of the day was also dependent on the scores of parents and friends who showed up. Your enthusiastic cheering kept spirits high. The water station quenched our thirst and the tally markers kept us on track and motivated. A special thanks to the Kramer family of Kramer Events, Inc. Their music kept us energized. The Walk-a-thon is a favorite day at school. It is about fundraising, but it is also about community, working together and creating memorable moments for our kids. Thank you all!
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
