Dear Ritzman Families and Community,

I can't believe most of the leaves have fallen from the trees and Halloween is already over. Thank you to everyone who helped out with our Harvest Parade at Ritzman. It felt wonderful  being back to doing things together in person as a school. 

Students are working hard this month in all of their subjects, but especially in reading and math. We can see their hard work in the time spent in I-Ready lessons that students complete independently. Remember to check your child's progress in I-Ready on their dashboard.  

This month, we have several events. The first is our annual family reading night that is on Thursday, November 10th. Everyone is welcome to attend. Just be sure to sign up using our Google Form for Reading Night.  The event is our annual PTO canned food drive. We always support our own families by gathering non-perishables and creating Thanksgiving baskets for our Ritzman Families that are in need. Thank you in advance for your donations.  Finally, just a reminder that Thanksgiving Break is November 23rd through November 25th.

November is a time of giving THANKS for the many blessings we have been given. This time of year really makes you aware of the many treasures we have in life and to celebrate them each day. We give THANKS for:

T – THANKFUL for our Ritzman RAMs

H – HAPPY to have our RAMtastic Students in school each day

A – APPRECIATE the strong parental support

N – NURTURING staff to guide and educate our students

K – KINDNESS throughout our school

S – SUPPORTIVE community and school board

Happy THANKSgiving from me to you and your family!

Love Ya,

Mrs. M
