Today we say goodbye to our Middle School Principal, Mr. Pugh, as it was his last official day working for our district. While it’s tough to see him leave, we are proud to see him move on, as he will become the Superintendent at another area school. Help us wish him the best of luck in his new role! He is pictured with students and staff members from Spirit Week in May on "Dress Like Principal Pugh" day.

Grant was the Riddle Art 4th Quarter School Positive Leadership Winner!
Grant's name was drawn from the raffle box full of hundreds of tickets. The prize that Grant won was totally up to him. Grant found out Mr. Niemerg was creating baseball bats and Grant stated, " I want it to give to my dad for Father's Day." Chosing that, Grant sacrificed his personal reward, giving up candy and various other treats for a Father's Day gift for his dad! We love the heart in that decision and want to congratulate him on his win!
Williams Elementary students ended the year strong in Run Club.

This was 7 more miles than our leader last year.
In addition, we also had 8 more students who made our Rockstar Runners chart by running over 35 miles. Way to go kiddos!
