. Thank you to all of those that have volunteered and worked this week!

Miss Stiverson, Miss Greer, Mrs. Keller, Miss Schimpf, Mrs. Werling, and Mrs. Moore took time out of their summers to attend a three day conference focused on Behavioral Leadership and continuing to learn from the Kid Whisperer team. This team of teacher leaders will continue to work with all of our staff to share their learning throughout the upcoming year. Bonus was being able to reconnect with Tony--who has been at Ridgedale to help coach and train our elementary staff! Thank you for giving of your time this summer to continue to learn for our community! #rocketpride #alwayslearning #smalldistrictbigthings
