Principal’s Message
Have a restful and memorable Thanksgiving.
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
I want to thank everyone for a successful week of Parent Conferences. 100% of our parents participated! We deeply appreciate working in partnership with you. We also appreciate all the goodies that parents brought throughout the week and the luncheon on Wednesday. Thank you, it was delicious!
We had our third Roadrunner Assembly today. It is delightful to have so many parents, grandparents and friends attending. I want to give a special thanks to the Roadrunner Band. Mark Getten, Doug Groshart, Pam Richerson and Cherie Hovey's musical talents are bringing new energy to our song. We have never sounded so good!

As we move into Thanksgiving break there are many things that I am grateful for. I am especially grateful to work with such enthusiastic students, devoted parents and dedicated educators and staff members. Los Ranchos is a great place to work and learn.
Have a restful and memorable Thanksgiving.

Greg Trine
We will be having an author visit and family literacy night with author, speaker, and all-around funny guy, Greg Trine, on Tuesday, December 5th, sponsored by our PTA. He will present two assemblies during the day to all grades with plenty of visuals and audience participation. Greg will delve into the writing process and the fun of storytelling and writing humorous books for kids. Your students will come away with:
- The importance of writing beyond the first draft
- Where unique characters come from
- Using personal experience as inspiration for writing their own stories
- And much, much more
The evening family night will take place on Tuesday, December 5th at 6:00 p.m. PTA will be selling pizza starting at 5:30. Greg Trine’s books will be available for pre-order using this order form. Please print form and enclose a check for complete amount and drop it off in a sealed envelope in the drop box in the front office by Monday, December 4th. Books will be signed and delivered to classroom teachers. Books will also be available at family night, but pre-orders are encouraged to avoid long lines.
Greg Trine is the author of many books: Melvin Beederman Series, the Adventures of Jo Schmo Series, and Willy Maykit in Space. His books feature humorous superheroes which keep kids engaged in reading. We hope you can join us on Tuesday, December 5th.
