Dear RCS Families,

This was a fun-filled week with many activities! We traveled to the Safety Village and learned about many household and community safety tips, hosted our annual Fall Fest, and were visited by the Ripley Fire Department!

Children practicing varies Fire Safety, pedestrian and bike safety activities

On Monday, we participated in our annual Fall Fest and hosted CLCS’ fourth grade students. It was an exciting day filled with seasonal activities, including a visit to our school’s pumpkin patch, grape stomping, apple cider making, facepainting, and much more. Earlier in the spring, the students planted pumpkin seeds, and it was amazing to see how much the pumpkins had grown over the summer. A special thank you to Knight Farms for making this experience possible. Each child got to pick their own pumpkin and take it home. Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Fall Fest a day to remember!
