Ryan School News
Happy Birthday wishes to Cristian Pecina.
I am sure everyone is aware that this will be the last year for Ryan School to be open.  My heart aches for the kids and the community.
I hope we can all work together and comfort the kids, some who have literally lost not only their homes, but the school they loved and where their families have gone for generations.
I hope everyone will come out and support the students for the remainder of the year and make these last days special and memorable for them.
Grades K – 4 students will be going bowling today. On May 19, grades 5-8 students will be going bowling. Make those spares guys, the strikes take care of themselves!
