We are still buzzing with excitement over here! A HUGE shout out to Emily’s Brew for sponsoring a school-wide pizza party today.
Our students worked incredibly hard to raise funds through our Hike the Halls Fundraiser, and thanks to this amazing local support, we got to celebrate that hard work in the most delicious way possible.
We are so lucky to have a community that pours so much love back into our school. Thank you, Emily’s Brew, for fueling our hikers and putting a smile on everyone’s face! We appreciate you so much!

SRCSC Summer Meals TO GO!
We need your feedback. This summer, the South Ripley Community School Corporation is exploring an option to offer a new summer meal program. The NEW USDA SUN "Meals To-Go" Program allows South Ripley to offer FREE breakfast and lunch kits to ANYONE age 18 and younger. The "Meals To-Go" program typically runs through the months of June and July. Individuals do not need to attend one of these schools and can be younger than kindergarten to participate.

Who-Who is having a blast in Science class? 🦉Our 6th graders, that’s who.
Today at SRES, students dissected owl pellets. They found skulls, jaws, and plenty of bones! 🦴.
It was a hands-on way to uncover the secrets of food webs and see exactly what an ecosystem looks like from a predator’s view.
