Monday, August 10th isn’t just the first day of school — it’s the day we made history at Rye Ranch Elementary School.
Today, Principal Dr. Melinda Lundy and founding staff members began building traditions that will last for generations.
For the very first time, students walked through the front doors and classrooms came alive with new friendships. A beautiful new media center was the site for first stories read and first meals (chicken or cheeseburgers) were served in the cafeteria.
There were so many “firsts” today for this brand new school in Parrish — and years from now, we’ll look back and remember that we were here together for the very beginning.
Welcome to the first day of something extraordinary! #ManateeSchoolsGoodNews
