Hello Ram Fam!
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond to our anonymous Parents & Residents Community Survey. We've received hundreds of completed surveys so far. But, we're not satisfied! The more input we receive, the better the data analysis to help guide our new strategic plan.
If you have not yet completed the survey, please do so. Here's the link to the survey:

Again, thank you for taking the time to participate.
Respectively,

Tomorrow is our 22nd year of the Kids Heart Event. The students have been practicing several different ways of jumping rope and learing about how exercise benefits our bodies. Please have your students dressed for physical activities. We will be jumping rope, dancing, bowling, playing basketball, golfing, and much more. Please turn in all money using the envelopes that were handed out. Checks should be made to the American Heart Association.
