LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL:
Dear Bobcat Families,
It is almost Spring Break but it feels more like summer outside today! We have had a busy week and I am looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at the STEM EXPO 5pm -7pm. Tomorrow should be a blast too as those who want to do a Color Run at Lunch.
Lost and Found
Please come and check out our Lost And Found. Any items left after tomorrow will be taken to Goodwill.
Color Run Tomorrow!
Tomorrow, students can participate in a Color Run during lunch recess. It is completely voluntary and should be a lot of fun. If your student wants to run, it would be great to wear a white shirt, then the colors stand out more. All of the color is completely washable with safe ingredients -100% FD&C and D&C approved dyes, cornstarch, and baking soda.
Covid Tests
Each student received 1 more Covid test from the District today. Please have your child take the test Sunday evening before they return to school.
Thank you for keeping our community safe and healthy! Have a great week away from school.
Stay Bobcat Strong!
Mrs. Kelly Rafferty
Thank you PTA for allowing TNT dunk squad to show us what you can do when you set goals!

STEM Expo
Santa Rita STEM Expo invites students in grades TK-6 to participate! While engaging in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) projects, students will have an opportunity to design hands-on projects while exploring just how fun STEM can be! This event lends itself to a myriad of learning experiences: within the class or at home, working individually or collaboratively with peers or with adults, and amongst a wide range of STEM categories including: Rube Goldberg, Invention, Engineering (Reverse), Engineering (Robotics), Scientific Inquiry, and Wearable Designs. Ultimately, students will get a chance to showcase their STEM work in a fun and unique venue, with learning opportunities for the entire family. Santa Rita will be hosting the STEM Expo evening showcase on April 7 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.
