Principal’s Weekly Update—Week of November 27, 2017

InNews, RK Finn Ryan Road School

I hope everyone enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving!

Benches!

The PTO purchased three outdoor benches to honor several recent retirees. They have been in the lobby while we were getting concrete spots prepared out front, but they are now in place in look great! I attached a photo. Come and have a sit! Also, I attached a photo of Mr. Owen at his school celebration honoring his retirement. His blue bench is now in the lobby. It is lovely, and it will always remind us of him.

Mrs. Brown has replaced Mr. Owen as our School Counselor. She is looking forward to getting to know all of our Ryan Road families.

 

The Girls on the Run team recently completed a 5K run at Smith College. I included a photo of our fabulous team! Hooray for our girls and their coaches, Ms. Walden, Ms. Cleary, and Mrs. Ramsden.

 

 

 

The other photos show our kindergarten students enjoying Thanksgiving festivities! I don’t think there could be cuter turkeys anywhere!
