Dear Rock Ridge Families,
Thank you everyone for your generous support of our Run 4 Funds fundraiser this year.
What a huge turnout with generous contributions for our school. Our PTO will continue to
use their portion of the funds to support staff and instruction at Rock Ridge through their
grant program and Rock Ridge will be using funds to further enhance our technology and
begin to bring our media center up to date with new books and resources. Your generosity
also resulted in meeting our goal and thus, I myself having to eat a Cricket and Coach
Lentz taking a pie in the face. (If you have not seen the pictures and video, check out the
PTO Newsletter)
On another note, I was speaking with a parent during car loop and he shared how his son
participates in the Quarter Midgets youth racing club. I was not familiar with this program
and upon finding out more it reminded me of when I use to race my homemade go-cart up
in the mountains where I grew up. (Much better organized and safer than my experience of
course). He shared that kids of all ages are can participate and the organization that they
belong to have opportunities for kids to test drive the Quarter Midget vehicles for $10. I
wanted to share this unique opportunity in case your children may be interested in checking
it out. You can find out more information at: PPQMA.com
Fall break is just around the corner and believe it or not, winter weather will be hear soon.
Be sure to use this link for updates on school closures and late starts due to severe winter
weather.
Thank you everyone again for all of your support. Our staff and I greatly appreciate you,
our community.
Sincerely,
Peter Mosby, Principal
