Kindergarten celebrated the 100th Day this week! Some students dressed as 100-year-olds and our 2nd grade friends came in to help count their 100 objects that they brought in from home.









Our Friday kicked off with another round of Eagle Wing winners! We love that our students consistently demonstrate our Ripley character strengths of respect, responsibility, thankfulness, grit, and leadership. Keep up the hard work!


Our 6th graders participated in a joint adventure with the 6th grade students at CLCS on Friday. They went tubing, participated in ice breaker activities, and enjoyed lunch together!







4th grade tried a variety of new fruits and veggies thanks to our Fitness for Kids Program! They tried papaya, guava, golden kiwi, plums, peppers, beets and sugar snap peas.

We kicked off Ripley's Read Across America week with a visit from the Erie SeaWolves mascot, C. Wolf! We listened to a heartwarming story, and we learned about C. Wolf's Reading Club. Students will receive a special reading log, read 8 books, and turn it in for a free ticket to a game!
