Teachers suited up in hilarious inflatable costumes and raced in a spirited relay as students lined the sidelines, cheering wildly! This event marked the fun-filled culmination of our One School, One Book initiative—bringing our whole school community together through laughter, teamwork, and a shared love of reading.

Because we surpassed our goal, the top earners from each class got to silly string Dr. Morgan, Ms. Corbett, and Dr. Watkins! The whole school cheered and celebrated the fun!

Parker "Basketball" Jones brought lots of energy to Rydal! The whole school was involved as we fine-tuned our listening skills, practiced taking our time, and learned that practice and failure are essential in getting better at something. We had so much fun learning that it's okay to make mistakes because we may not know how to do something...YET.
