Ruch School Happenings
Ruch students and community partners are eagerly looking forward to spring; we are preparing our green house and building raised beds in anticipation of our Ruch Community Garden; made possible through a partnership with Ruch School, Master Gardeners, Silver Springs Nursery, Wilding Rural Education Center and community volunteers.
Celebrate Ruch Community on Saturday March 9th from 11 AM -3 PM. This is a great opportunity to get together as a community, share information, and exchange ideas. Learn more about the place-based learning and community partnership programs, plans for a Ruch Preschool and summer camps. Enjoy live entertainment, games, face painting, food and drinks, arts & crafts and exciting raffle items donated by our local partners. Try out Dave Palmer’s Hang Glide Simulator or experience a tethered hot air balloon ride, compliments of SO Wines Aloft.
On Friday March 14th Oregon’s own Art for the Sky artist Daniel Dancer will transform Ruch students and community members into a giant, living, breathing cougar! Everyone is invited to share in this amazing artistic display of community pride through teamwork. Time: TBD, Please call Ruch School.
Wednesday March 20th Ruch Students will ‘slay a dragon, rescue a princess and find true love with Portland Opera To Go!’ POGO will perform their adaptation of Mozart’s The Magic Flute for our K- 8 students. Prior to the performance performers will spend time in the classrooms with students answering questions and enriching the curriculum with music inspired lessons.
Ruch students travel back in time to bring history back to life on Thursday March 21st for the Night of the Notables.
Junior High students are anxiously waiting for Friday March 22nd to arrive so they can kick off the start of spring break with the highly anticipated “Black Light Dance!” Ruch School cafeteria is transformed into a neon night club for teens, filled with hip-hop jams, glow sticks and chaperons!
It’s a great time to be a cougar!
