The Long Ridge School

Dear Parents,

During the holiday season, we naturally think about the people in our lives who are most important to us. For those of us at The Long Ridge School, that list includes you and your wonderful children.

We are honored that you have chosen us to play an important role in your children’s lives. We take the responsibility of educating your children very seriously. We want every child–from Beginners to Fifth-graders--to experience the joy of learning each and every day.

I also want to let you know how much we appreciate your involvement in the school. Without the support of our school community, activities such as the Book Fair, class trips and projects, lunch, the Annual Auction and other events simply would not be as successful. We are grateful for your participation and contributions to the school.

As we look ahead to 2012, we eagerly anticipate many exciting learning experiences and special events for everyone in our school community.

On behalf of the entire staff of The Long Ridge School, I wish you a peaceful, joyous holiday full of special times with your family and friends.

Happy Holidays,
Kris Bria
 
    
Ice Skating Party

 
Please save the date for the opening of the LRS skating rink on Sunday, January 8, 1-3pm. The date is weather dependent as the rink requires several days of cold weather to freeze.
    
New Sign-ups for Lunch and After-School Programs

New sessions of Drums with Rosie, Ceramics with Debbie, After-School Games, Tang Soo Do and Theater will begin when we return from winter break on Tuesday, January 3. A new session of chess for grades 1-5 will begin January 13. Sign-up forms for chess have been handed out to each child or can be printed here.  Checks for chess should be made out to NECA.

A new hot lunch sign up is available online for lunches beginning on Tuesday, January 3, through the end of school. The lunch offerings remain the same except for Monday lunch which will change from grilled cheese to chesse quesadilla with brown rice and fruit on the side 

Sign up for these activities under the "Parents" section of our website at www.longridgeschool.org

    
A Night in Monte Carlo Auction and Benefit

The Auction will be only nine weeks away when we return from break!

We need your help with solicitations. Specifically, we are looking for people to solicit: Blind Charlie’s, Bedford Gourmet, Dinardo’s, Pinocchio’s, and the Meeting House.
