The following students were recognized for their character and scholarship prior to break. Keep up the good work and see you next year!
Students in grades K-6 showcased their talents at last evening's Winter Concert. A big thank you goes out to Ms. Goetz for preparing our students. The joy of our students was on full display. "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing loud for all to hear!"
The students gave an outstanding performance of Disney's Jungle Book Kids last evening. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who came out to support our performers, and an additional thank you to the teachers who prepared the students to shine. It was a fantastic evening!
The students in the after school baking club have been hard at work crafting delicious winter treats. A big thank you to them for letting me take part in the all-important quality control process!
Students in our archery program have been developing the fundamental skills necessary for success in archery. They have shown great perseverance as they work to improve their accuracy. A big thank you goes out to the volunteers that have been working with our kids.
K-6 Winter Concert is Wednesday, December 18th, at 6:00 PM. Students should report to the school cafeteria at 5:45 PM to line up. After dropping your child off at the cafeteria, parents are welcome to find their seats in the large gymnasium.
Important Announcement: School Closed on Thursday, December 12
Due to ongoing inclement weather and additional snow expected, we have made the decision to cancel school for today, Thursday, December 12. While it may not look bad in some areas, the blowing and drifting snow on the hill make in dangerous for travel. Additionally, the K-6 Winter concert will be rescheduled to next week. This date will be determined and parents/guardians will be notified in the next Friday Letter.
Please stay home, keep warm, and stay safe. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Friday.
Thank you for your understanding!
The wintry weather has given us the opportunity to embrace the season and enjoy some outdoor fun! This past week, it was wonderful to see Mr. Rowe and the PE students sledding on the slopes in front of the school. The students eagerly look forward to this adventure every year!

Students who finish breakfast early have been enjoying their mornings with the Mighty Milers Club. During breakfast time, they get extra time in the small gym to exercise, and rack up those steps! It’s a fun and gives students another great reason to arrive at school early.
We had the pleasure of recognizing several students this morning for their outstanding character and academic achievements. Keep embodying the RCS Character Strengths of Grit, Leadership, Responsibility, and Respect.
We kicked off December with a Crew Celebration this Friday! Students explored Responsibility, this month’s Leadworthy Character Trait, and how it builds teamwork. In a fun hula hoop activity, their teamwork and communication improved with each round. It was inspiring to watch!
Fifth-grade students visited kindergarten to share their latest writing projects and read stories to the younger students. Both groups did an excellent job practicing good audience skills and presenting confidently. Great work, scholars!

This Monday, Mr. Morton and his friend Roger stopped by Ripley Central School to teach our students all about turkeys and why these fascinating birds are truly amazing! Ask your kids if they remember any turkey facts. It was a fun and educational experience for everyone involved!
