Photos from the Holiday Penguin Shop at Riddle Elementary. Parent volunteers and 4th and 5th graders help to run the shop so students from the school can come to purchase Christmas gifts for their family/friends. Volunteers serve about 5-6 classes a day during the week. The students LOVE the Penguin Shop!
Happy Holidays!
As we begin Winter Break, we should also be preparing for the Winter Weather Storm coming this week. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning in effect from Thursday (12/22) through Saturday. This warning includes below-freezing temperatures, dangerous winds, and snow. While our students will be away on break, we are still thinking about their safety.
Here are some safety tips for playing in the snow over break AFTER the storm has passed.
We wish you all a safe and relaxing holiday season. We look forward to seeing the kids back in 2023.
The 5th Grade Winter Band Concert will be at 6 p.m. tomorrow (12/20) at Riddle Elementary School. Wear your festive holiday gear along with our musicians to celebrate a successful semester of music making!
Get ready! Winter Break starts Thursday, December 22 and students will not return to school until Tuesday, January 3, 2023. Teachers will return on Monday, January 2nd for Teachers Institute.
Just a reminder, Riddle Elementary is hosting their 2nd annual Penguin Patch Holiday Shop next week!
Students will be secretly shopping for family and friends DURING the school day with their teachers. It is a great excuse to encourage your child to earn their shopping money by doing some chores at home. Here are a few ideas on how they can earn money to shop: Make their bed, help bring in the groceries, help a sibling with a project, feed the dog or assist grandparents with chores.

Students in art classes at Riddle Elementary have been creating numerous patriotic art works to decorate the hallways. Pictured here are students in Miss Washburn's fourth grade class.
