Riddle Elementary School had a great first eight days of school, learning about expectations throughout each area in the building and how they can practice the 7 habits! We even had a few superhero’s welcome us on Friday! 🦸♂️







Our Fall fundraiser at Riddle Elementary is about to launch thanks to our friends at POP! We’re empowering our kids to make a difference at our school. Plus, they’ll earn some cool prizes! Look for more information to come home with your students on Monday. Are you ready?
