🏅 The Dater Olympics are officially underway! In just four short weeks, one homeroom will earn the crown of 2025–2026 Dater Olympics Champions, and today’s opening ceremony kicked off the excitement as we discussed sportsmanship, teamwork, and celebrating everyone’s unique strengths. 🎉🥇 The first competitive event, Dice Race 🎲, is already in the books, and several homerooms have jumped onto the scoreboard by earning gold, silver, and bronze medals in our very first challenge! Stay tuned for upcoming events!
Yesterday’s 5th Grade Field Day was full of sunshine, teamwork, and lots of laughs—especially during the water relays! Students showed great sportsmanship and energy throughout the day while making wonderful memories together, and we are so grateful to our parent volunteers for helping make the event run so smoothly. A huge thank you to Mr. C for organizing such a fantastic day and to DJs Mr. Quinlan and Ben for keeping the fun going all day long!
🇺🇸 Ramsey School District honors the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We reflect on their courage, their dedication, and the legacies they left behind.
Wishing our community a day of peaceful reflection and gratitude. 💙
