In what is becoming a tradition, families from Clover Ridge and Timber Ridge took part in Albany’s annual Veteran’s Day parade.  Students and families from both schools represented in school colors, and many family members who are also veterans wore military uniforms.

Thank you to all the students, parents and Veterans that joined our Clover Ridge and Timber Ridge Veteran’s Day float. It was great to have so many Ridges families participate to honor our country’s Veterans!

Thank you to all who have served and our serving in our country’s armed forces!

Weighted sensory lap pads help kids center and concentrate, which can lead to improved learning.  Although very expensive to buy, Clover Ridge staff brought their talents and resources together to make 4 pads for student use.

Each pad measures approximately 15″ by 19″ and after being filled with poly pellets, weighs just under 3 pounds.

Students who can benefit from the use of weighted lap pads will now have them for use at Clover Ridge.

Clover Ridge takes part in the 2015 Veteran’s Day Parade

Clover Ridge will once again be part of Albany’s Veteran’s Day Parade.  If you would like to be a part of this year’s celebration, be sure to return the permission slip that went home with your child last week by Tuesday 11/8.  Contact information (preferably email) is needed so our coordinators can let you know where we will be meeting on parade day.  If you have any questions, please call the school office.

We’d like to give a big shout out to all our Clover Ridge families who made such generous donations for our annual Pumpkin Patch!  We sent a letter home with students, asking for various items we needed for the Pumpkin Patch, and the donations came pouring in:

Community is important to Clover Ridge, and we couldn’t do what we do without the wonderful support of our families, volunteers and staff.  Thank you so much for your generosity and being a part of making the Clover Ridge Pumpkin Patch successful!
