Mrs. Stradinger reports "Success" for an event held on November 12 to benefit the North Branch American Legion. Close to 40 participants came out to either run a 5k or do the mile walk! Special thanks to Mr. Haney for providing information about Veterans Day! The participants had a moment of silence to honor and remember our veterans. Thank you to Stradinger Building for donating the medals. Congratulations to top finishers: Nikki and Brandon Seeley! On behalf of the Ruth Fox a check in the amount of $75.00 was given to the North Branch American Legion during the annual "We're Thankful for Veterans" celebration on November 23rd.

Sock It To Your Teacher (or Administrator) was a HUGE SUCCESS! The students and staff of RFES collected 917 pairs of socks, as well as mittens and hats, for our community! They even had a chance to "sock it" to one of their favorite teachers or administrators!

December 6 marked the start of "National Computer Science Education Week." Code.org sponsors Hour of Code in classrooms across the US to raise awareness of coding. Our Ruth Fox and Middle School students participated in this education awareness!
