The Rippleton Track and Field Team had an outstanding showing at the City Track and Field Meet. Five students qualified for the meet after making it through both the Area and Conference Meets.
After 22 years of coaching track and field, Ms. McCormick finally had a student give her a City Championship! and it came in Grade 6 Boys shot put. Out of the 5 students competing that day, 3 of them had qualified for the shot put - What have we been feeding our kids? :) !
Congratualtions to all the students who showed great sportsmanship at every level. And a special thank you to Ms. McCormick and the rest of the teachers who helped coach the students before and during school and supervised at the events.

There has been no change to our budget since last RAPT Meeting. It has been decided that we will go ahead with Scientist in the School next year as well as two school performances. The deposit for next year’s Scientists in the School program is due this month and has been accounted for in this year’s expenditures when estimating the $6,000 balance remaining. A motion was made and passed to allocate $5,000 to the Master Plan Playground Improvement Fund.
