Praises to Our Wonderful Volunteers
A big YEE HAW to our wonderful PTA who provided our staff with a sports-themed lunch. We enjoyed hot dogs, chili, chips, popcorn and much more! We know that with your busy schedules, it is a true act of your commitment to us, and we are so very grateful and appreciative for all you do to make us feel valued, loved and appreciated. Thanks to all who donated the yummy food!
Thank you to our Watchdog dads who consistently volunteer their time to support us. You Rock Dads!

Perfect Attendance Drawing
At the end of the 2012-2013 school year, each student with perfect attendance (zero tardies and zero absences) will go into a drawing for a BIG prize (Examples may include a bicycle, I-Pad, I-Pod Shuffle, etc...). Help ensure your child is our perfect attendance winner at the end of the year by sending your child to school everyday and by getting him/her to school on time each day. We do understand that illnesses and emergencies arise, and we ask that you follow our policy of keeping your child at home when sick and with fever. We plan on making this a new tradition, so if your child doesn't make it this year, he/she will have future opportunities to work toward perfect attendance.
Thanks for making North Ridge Ranch a Great Place to Be!
Until the next blog,

News From the Ranch - October 3, 2012
It's hard to believe we are already in October! The cool fall weather is slowly creeping in and our teachers and students are in the full swing of things. We have a busy week on the Ranch.
Below are reminders of special events we are looking forward to:
Our Week on the Ranch
Wednesday, October 3rd - Meet the Kona Ice truck behind the school and support our fifth graders on their camp endeavor.
Thursday, October 4th -
- Dress up and say "cheese" - It's picture day on the Ranch!
- Wear you picture finest to dine out at Chili's and let your waiter know you are a North Ridge Longhorn to have a percentage of your meal donated to NRE and support our fifth graders as they raise money for their Camp Grady Spruce trip scheduled in April 2013.
Friday, October 5th and Monday, October 8th - (Student holiday) - Our little Longhorns leave the ranch for an extended weekend of play, rest and relaxation with mom and dad longhorns.
Ranch Hands (our NRE staff) remain on the Ranch to learn all they can about herding up those little Longhorns and teaching them the ways of the Ranch.
Thursday, October 11th (2 Sessions: 3:30 or 6:30) in our NRE Cafeteria- North Richland Hills Community Planning and Information Gathering Session - Come and Play with us!
Do you play at Adventure World Park? If so, you will want to attend this planning session with your child/children to give input into renovations for the park. We are delighted that the City of North Richland Hills wants to gather input from the people who most frequently use the park - our parents and their children. The city has plans to completely renovate the park, using YOUR ideas to create a universally accessible playground that meets the needs of all children. Children will have opportunities to draw pictures of their vision for a perfect playground. This input will be considered as the City builds a new park for our childrens' enjoyment. Bring your imagination and come play with us!
Thank You to Mr. Marton for giving our teachers the gift of relaxation!
Our wonderful parent and Watch Dog, Mr. Marton, donated a masseuse for a day for our teachers.
We truly appreciate your act of kindness Mr. Marton!
We Love our NRE Workroom Volunteers!
Our staff is making every effort to make sure our volunteers feel welcomed and appreciated!
Our grade levels "YEE HAW" our great workroom volunteers each six weeks with a hat filled with muffins, cookies and other sweet treats, to let them know how much we appreciate their committment to us. Thank you so much! We hope all of our volunteers know how very much we love and appreciate all that you do for us and our little Longhorns! We couldn't do all we do without your volunteerism and partnership!
Until the next blog, "Yee Haw" and saddle up to ride into the sunset for your long weekend with your little Longhorns! Wishing you a safe, relaxing, meaningful time with family and friends!
