Ranger School Tel. 624-8467     Fax. 624-8468 Text Box: Feinstein Food Drive Collects over 6oo Items Thanks go out to the Ranger Community for again reaching out to assist in our annual Spring Feinstein Food Drive. We collected over 600 items which were donated to the Tiverton Food Pantry and the Sacred Heart Soup Kitchen in Fall River. Additionally, each organization qualifies to receive an additional dollar for each item from the Feinstein Foundation. Please note that assistance is always available to Ranger families in time of need. All inquiries will be strictly confidential.  

Text Box: Playscapes are Installed We are pleased to announce that the playscapes have been installed in the rear schoolyard and students were able to enjoy them before vacation. Work is continuing this week in the playground as the area is being re-graded and re-seeded. Hopefully, the grass will take root and we will be able to use the fields in September. The asphalt area between the playscapes has been expanded to allow for a larger play area which will also get us out of the parking lot.  The road will also be asphalted when the field work is completed to provide additional space and to alleviate the students having to walk through the mud to get to the playscapes. This is where we intend to  conduct recess for the remainder of the year.
