Life at school is almost business as usual. Learning the expectations, routines, lunch and recess times, what days do I have P.E, etc...
Before I get to too carried away I want to say welcome back! Summer was awesome, but I was super excited to come back to school on the 5th. The energy is so positive and contagious it is hard to not want to be around it. Summer at my house was very memorable from basketball camps and tournaments to lake days/nights to emergency rooms to carpentry and even the state fair! we had the pleasure of seeing it all. Here are a couple of pics...       The start of the school year has been great! Irish Pride is on display daily, morning movers is functional, and we have begun soccer in P.E class--dribble, pass, trap, and goal keeping.   Volunteer orientation is coming up on September 18th at 6 p.m in the elementary media center. This is important for any parent or guardian who is considering chaperoning the annual sixth grade ski trip to powder ridge. Ski trip is planned for Friday, January 19th.   As usual get in touch with me for anything that you may need and I will do my best to get the answer ASAP. Have a great school year! ~Mr. Ronnenberg  |
