From The Desk of
Your Principal
Dear Students, Parents, Guardians and
Community Members,
Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy
President’s Day! It was a busy week for
sure at Ruch Outdoor Community
School! Great things are happening.
Ms. Neiswanger’s first and second
graders paid a visit to the residents of
Pioneer Village in Jacksonville on
Valentine’s Day and delivered lots of
valentines and happiness! Our girls’
basketball team is proving amazing
and we are very grateful for parent,
Joseph Hatcher, for volunteering his
time, energy and effort to coach.
Thank you! Our fundraising efforts did
not go unnoticed this week. Channel 5
and Whit Parker from the Jacksonville
Review were present at Ruch Country
Store to document all the monies
being counted by store owners, Craig
and Amber Hamm, and students and
staff from school. The Hamms have
always demonstrated that when the
community works directly with their
school and shows support in many
ways, the benefits to the students are
massive but it also strengthens the
community at large. Thank you Craig
and Amber! Enjoy your weekend and
be careful when traveling on the
snowy roads.
Julie Barry
