Raider Robotics had their first competition last night at South Dearborn. They did great!
Before break, our sixth grade students got to participate in their Annual Renaissance Fair. We loved seeing the creativity of each renaissance item the students made to trade with their classmates' items.

Thanks to US Congresswoman Erin Houchin for visiting SR today. We had a great time showing her STEM lessons, Science of Reading, a MILO robot lesson, discussing Champions Together & interacting with our JAG state officer! The Admin Team truly enjoyed hosting Rep. Houchin.
Great morning having breakfast with our South Ripley bus drivers at Crossroads. Thanks to this group (and a few who couldn't make it) for transporting our students safely each day! We appreciate you!

Congratulations to SRES Deck the Doors winners.
Thank you to all parents who took the time to vote for your favorite door!
