[0:01] [Music] [0:06] Hi, welcome to Ramsey Elementary School. [0:09] I'm Denise Schnabble, the principal, and [0:11] we're excited to show you here at Ramsay [0:13] Elementary how our staff and students [0:15] are leading the way. [0:18] [Music] [0:25] Ramsey Elementary is located just north [0:28] of the Anoka community in the heart of [0:30] the city of Ramsey, serving [0:31] approximately 930 diverse and [0:34] enthusiastic learners. Our attendance [0:36] area stretches from downtown Anoka all [0:39] the way to just north of our location in [0:41] Ramsey. Although we are a large school, [0:44] our staff and students are intentional [0:45] about making it feel like a community to [0:47] everyone. E [0:52] F. [0:53] Our beautiful property is the home of [0:55] one of Minnesota's registered schoolyard [0:57] forests that our staff and students use [0:59] throughout the seasons. In our building, [1:02] it is important that everyone is focused [1:03] on our three foundations, seek [1:06] connection with others, build our [1:08] community, and show our Eagle pride. But [1:11] is that exactly half or more than half? [1:13] The Ramsay staff are committed to [1:15] building relationships with our [1:16] students. Our goal is to capitalize on [1:19] each person's strengths while [1:20] encouraging and supporting perseverance [1:22] in our growth areas. So 6* 7 is 42. [1:27] Do you have a 42 on there? [1:29] Students are each part of the goal [1:31] setting process and have regular [1:32] checkpoints to continue their success. [1:35] Family involvement goes handinhand with [1:37] student success and we enjoy hosting a [1:39] wide range of family events. We are [1:42] proud to have a parent teacher [1:43] organization that supports family [1:44] involvement. Each year we work to create [1:47] connections between family and school, [1:50] including hosting a fall picnic, a [1:52] winter math night called Numbers and [1:53] Nachos, a multilingual family event, [1:56] family reading nights, and many more. We [1:59] are always looking for adults to support [2:01] our learning community in any ways that [2:03] they can. We have volunteers that [2:05] support in our cafeterias and help in [2:07] organizational tasks for the classrooms. [2:10] We also have trained volunteers that [2:11] come in to support students in specific [2:13] academic skills on a regular basis. Our [2:16] volunteers are valuable resource to our [2:19] system. [2:23] [Music] [2:26] Thank you for visiting Ramsey Elementary [2:28] School. We hope to see you soon. [2:30] [Music]
