Ridgedale Local School District

Good evening, Rocket families. We wanted to thank you for all of your support and patience as we work through the loss of our Mrs. Burkett. We are grateful for the local agencies and surrounding districts who have been providing additional support for our staff and students. The calling hours for Mrs. Burkett will be held this Sunday, September 18, from 2-4pm at Central Baptist Church located at 2816 Marion Waldo Rd with the funeral following. Everyone who knew Mrs. Burkett knows how much she and Mr. Burkett loved our Rocket community. If you attended a sporting event, you were sure to see them taking tickets. Therefore, I would be remiss not to remind everyone about the youth night at our home football game tomorrow night. All youth flag football, youth football, youth cheer and all JH volleyball, football, XC, cheer and band participants should meet at the north goal post by 6:15pm on Friday evening. Announcement of teams will take place at 6:30pm. Ms. Leach will be out at the goal post to direct groups. Thank you for being such a wonderful community, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
