Ripley Elementary would like to recognize their December Students of the the Month. December's character focus was caring. Students who demonstrated caring showed a consistent and intentional demonstration of qualities such as empathy, kindness, compassion, and thoughtfulness toward others.
The school lost and found is on display at the end of the third grade hallway. Teachers will be taking students to peruse the clothing and other lost items. Parents can also come and look on Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30-4:00 for any items your child might be missing. Then we will be donating any left items.

RES 4th graders wrote Thank You cards for our Veterans. These were handed out during Ripley's Veterans Day Parade. Our Veterans were so impressed with the cards they received that several wanted to visit our students in person. Thank you for your service!
Ripley Elementary would like to recognize October's Students of the Month. The character trait for October was Respect. Respect is treating others with kindness and consideration. It involves valuing their feelings, wishes, and rights, even if they are different from your own. Respect is about acting in a way that shows you care about others and yourself. A simple way to remember it is the "Golden Rule": treat others the way you want to be treated.
Education programs never prepare you for when snow starts falling during the school day. Cries of "It's snowing!" echo up the hallways from the preschool rooms to the 5th grade hall. It's a magical moment.
