Education is vital to shaping future leaders. At Ramsey School District, we strive to instill in our students the values of leadership, integrity and civic responsibility. We are reminded of this, especially today, as we honor the legacy of our nation's leaders.

The musical talent in our district is AMAZING! Last night's choral collage featured singing groups from Dater, Smith, and the high school. The groups performed separately and together in a fast-paced and exciting show featuring great songs and performances. Special thanks to our vocal teachers: Mr. Bogert (Dater), Mr. Ricigliano (Smith), and Mr. Wolf (RHS). The arts are alive and well in Ramland!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! Congratulations to the middle school boys' basketball team. In the first year back after a decade with no middle school team, the Rams, led by Coach Taylor, captured the league title with a hard-fought 51-49 victory over a good Westwood team. Education-based athletics are an important part of the Ramsey experience. Another great day to be a Ram!

Smith School's 7th and 8th grade French students celebrated the holiday, la Chandeleur earlier this month. Chandeleur is National Crêpe Day and coincides with Groundhog's Day. On la Chandeleur, the French eat crêpes which symbolize the sun representing the move from winter to spring. The students got to make, cook, flip and fill their delicious crêpes with fillings ranging from fruit and whipped cream to chocolate and lemon/sugar. This was a great cultural experience for the students and one that most want to share at home with their own families. Proverb: À la Chandeleur, l'hiver cesse ou reprend vigueur. (On Candlemas, Winter ends or gets worse.)

Smith School's very own Room 143 students took an adventure to the Ramsey Public Library! Teaming up with our Library Media Specialist, Ms. Kelly, students got a chance to take a tour of our wonderful public library, learn about all of the great resources it has to offer, AND pitched in to help the Youth Services librarians on a special project. Students helped to weed & sort books that will be donated to local elementary schools, and helped create prize bags for special library promotions. Students then got to visit Anthony Franco’s for a special lunch. What a fantastic day in our community, special thanks to our friends at Anthony Franco’s Pizza and a huge shoutout to Ms. Maggie & Mr. Jeff and all our friends in the @ramseyfreepubliclibrary for welcoming us in! 📚🍕
