Ringgold Elementary School

One of our Panthers needs our help. This is Samantha. She is a 10 year student at Caldwell Elementary. Samantha’s leukemia has recently relapsed. Her best chance for a cure is a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. It only take a few minutes and just a swab of the cheek to see if you could be a LIFESAVING match for Samantha or others in need. There will be a Swabbing for Samantha event this Saturday. Donor Swab ➖ 18-55 years old 🗓️ Saturday September 23rd ⏰ 8am- 12pm & 2pm- 6pm 📍First Baptist Church Benton, AR

Ringgold Elementary will host a Veterans Day Assembly on Friday, November 11 at 9:00 am. Due to limited space, we do ask that only the Veterans being honored during the assembly be in attendance.

Did you know that September is HUNGER ACTION MONTH nationwide and is the beginning of the 2022 peanut butter drive? Each of our schools will be collecting jars of peanut butter throughout the month. The school that collects the most peanut butter will receive a trophy and bragging rights for the year! All peanut butter collected goes directly to a Saline County food pantry.

It has been a great week so far! Remember when dropping off in the mornings that Kindergarten gets dropped off on the side of the building under the awning. The rest will get dropped off at the front of the building. Also, please make sure your child gets out of the car quickly in order to keep the line moving along. Thank you for your patience each morning!

We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces!

This is FREE for all Benton students 18 and younger.

Congratulations to our 3rd graders for reading over 400 chapter books!

The reading MVPs are students who read all ten books. They are Tessa Griffin, Charlotte Griffin, Aubrie Appling, Paulo Helsham, Ann Louise Hendrix, Nic Martin, Anna Leigh Drennon, and Hattie Jacuzzi.
