🌿 Kindergarten Adventure at Presque Isle! 🌿
Our Kindergarten students had a wonderful adventure at Presque Isle today! They explored nature on a scenic hike, discovered local plants and wildlife, spotted a beaver dam and deer tracks, and even checked fish traps — finding both fish and turtles! 🐢🐟
The day wrapped up perfectly with a picnic lunch in the park. Our students demonstrated incredible respect and grit, and the park guides even complimented them on being such a kind, curious, and well-behaved group. 💚

Kindergarten started learning all about writing partners yesterday and how they can help make our books even better. They shared a book they are working on with a partner, received feedback, and then went back to their seat to revise their work!

Hello RCS Families,
We had such a wonderful Fall Fest today—Mother Nature gave us the perfect weather! 🎃 Every student had the chance to visit the pumpkin patch and pick out their very own pumpkin.
Since the pumpkins couldn’t be transported on the buses, we kindly ask that families of bus riders stop by the school to pick up their child’s pumpkin. They are lined up in the car rider pick-up area, each one clearly labeled with student names for easy collection.
A huge thank you to Knight Farms for their generous donation that made this special treat possible!
🍂 Happy Fall!

🦞🌱 Our 4th graders have been busy scientists this week! They’ve been learning all about how plants and animals respond to different stimuli. To bring their learning to life, they tested some stimuli on our classroom crayfish and observed how they responded. Lots of curiosity, discovery, and excitement in action! 🌟

Dear Ripley families,
The safety of our students and school staff is very important to us. One of the ways we stay safe is by holding school safety drills including evacuation, bus, early release and lockdown drills. Before we practice a drill, we teach students and staff what they need to do. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Sara Centanni
