Kindergarten students visited the Pre-K 4 classroom to celebrate the completion of their first reading unit! The Kindergartners demonstrated their partner reading skills and showcased their "reading powers" to the younger students. Both groups worked wonderfully together.





On Wednesday, Ripley Central School hosted a group of 4th-grade students from CLCS for our annual Fall Fest. It was an exciting day filled with seasonal activities, including a visit to our school’s pumpkin patch, grape stomping, apple cider making, 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, creating a lasting memory of this special day.



On October 1st, the Fredonia Men’s Basketball team made a special visit to Ripley Central School, offering our students a day of inspiration and fun. The team joined us for our Crew Celebration, where they participated in various activities, including teaching a basketball drill, visiting classrooms to read to students, and leading a discussion on this month’s Character Trait: Self-Direction. The players shared insights on setting goals and the importance of working towards them.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to the team and Coach Smiley for their time and dedication. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a strong connection with the Fredonia Men’s Basketball program!

Eagle-U has come to a successful close, with students enjoying a summer filled with learning, play, and personal growth. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents for their ongoing support, ensuring their children's consistent participation in the program. We also sincerely thank the providers for creating a joyful and enriching experience for our students.

Here are more fun pics from Eagle U! In addition to having a great time, students are also engaged in reading and working with teachers. It's not all fun and games, but a lot of fun is definitely had.

Students attending Eagle U also have the opportunity to receive weekly swimming lessons if they choose, which is a highlight for many of our scholars. A big thank you goes out to Brockton CSD for making their pool and lifeguards available to our students.
