I am calling to notify you that the Ryle PTSA will be hosting their annual craft show at Ryle High School this weekend on Friday, November 22^nd and Saturday, November 23^rd.  The craft show is the largest in the Northern Kentucky area and is our annual fundraiser for our PTSA.  Proceeds from the craft show go towards hosting our after-prom activities, the responsible young driver program, and other specific classroom and instructional needs.  Please make plans to support this great event.  Volunteers are needed to assist in many areas.  Students may use volunteering at the craft show for part or all of their required 5 hours of community service.

Other special events for your calendars are:

·        Mid-term progress reports for the 2^nd quarter grading period will handed out to all students on Monday, December 2^nd.

·        All junior students will be taking the ACT test at Ryle High School on Tuesday, March 4^th.  This test will be part of our school accountability and can also count for college admissions.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office at 384-5300 and our office staff will be glad to assist you.  It is critical that we all work together to keep our students moving in the right direction.

Thank you and remember make it a great day or not, that choice is always yours!

Ryle High School junior Chelsea Fite,17, has completed the work for her Girl Scout Gold Award, the organization's highest acheivement.

Scouts seeking the award have to identify "a need in the community that's lasting" and volunteer atleast 80 hours on the project. "When I went into it, I thought it was just a project," Chelsea said.
