Dear Ramah Elementary Families,

We’re excited to share that every student has been sent home with a copy of Charlotte’s Web for our school-wide book reveal! A letter was also included listing the chapters we’ll read together at school and which chapters families can read at home.
Please join us for our next Family Engagement Night on March 9, 2026, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. where we’ll host fun, hands-on literacy activities inspired by Charlotte’s Web. This is a wonderful chance to read together, enjoy book-related games and crafts, and celebrate reading as a community.
Quick reminders:
● Check the letter in your child’s backpack for the chapter schedule (school vs. home reading).
● Encourage reading a little each day to help your child follow along with classroom lessons.
● Mark March 9, 2026 on your calendar — we can’t wait to see you!

Thank you for supporting literacy at Ramah Elementary.

Warmly,
Ramah Elementary School

House Bill 253 is being heard 02/09 at 8:30 AM, and your voice matters.

If this bill passes it will cause a $47 million dollar shortfall for GMCS this year - but there is still time to stop this legislation from moving forward. We are asking our community to please call and email members of the House Education Committee and our local legislators and urge them to vote NO on HB 253.

Please know this: GMCS is doing everything within its power to avoid any negative consequences to our students, staff, and community. We are actively advocating, working with legislators, and fighting to protect the funding our students depend on. A few minutes of your time telling our legislators to vote NO on House Bill 253 will make a real difference. Thank you for standing with our students and schools.

We are asking our community to please call and email members of the House of Education Committee and our local legislatures and urge them to vote NO to HB 253.
