April 3, 2026
Dear Lower School Parents,
Every Lower School student has selected a Diffendoofer Day topic. We have a wide assortment of fascinating subjects including Nutella, Orcas, Bubble Gum, Hypothermia, Cinnamon and Real Estate. Remember, all of the research and preparation for this project is completed at home. Diffendoofer Day is Friday, April 17.
Boosterthon is around the corner. We look forward to the daily character videos in P.E. and the Fun Run and prizes.
Our word of the month is Creativity. Lower School students are such creative people. They regularly stump me with their insightful questions and silly riddles. Spend some time this month getting creative with your kids. It will make you smile.
Registration for Summer at The Ridge 2026 is open! Get ready for a summer packed with exciting camps, creative projects, outdoor fun, and unforgettable adventures. Register now to secure your spot!
Happy Spring,
Sarah Schecter
Head of Lower School
