Ridgefield Public Schools announced today that it would partner with Ruby’s Little Pantries for a Holiday Food Drive. The Little Pantries started last year by 12-year-old Ruby Weiner When the Little Pantry formerly at St. Stephens Church closed last year, Ruby wanted to find a way to provide to families during COVID. She earned a $500 grant from Youth Service America. Clark Construction jumped at the chance to partner with Ruby and built the first Little Pantry, and then four more, gratis. Now, Ruby has five pantries.
Please take the time to read the entire Holiday Food Drive article.

You can purchase these items at the school kitchen or prepaid online at School Payment Portal Powered By LunchTime Software using your child's lunch pin available in PowerSchool. We will not provide snacks if there is a negative balance in your child's account.
Scotland Elementary kindergarteners came to the school on Wednesday to learn about bus safety. They joined SES Principal Jill Katkocin and Elementary Supervisor Sarah Weirsman for a bus short trip. First Student bus drivers showed students how to cross the street safely. Parents learned about protocols from Transportation Manager Rick Lupinacci. We have rescheduled the bus orientation, which happened at all the elementary schools, from Monday due to Storm Henri.
As you are ticking through your back-to-school to-do list, please join your PTA. Every year, Ridgefield PTAs go above and beyond to work with staff to support our shared mission. Parent involvement comes in many different forms, and joining the PTA can be an important step in staying connected to your child’s education.
