Good Afternoon Saddle Ridge Families, 

 

We had a great week at Saddle Ridge School, filled with love, laughter and learning. The grade three students did an awesome job of the Halloween Assembly. All students enjoyed the assembly and parade. Please note that the time change (one hour back) takes place Nov. 5.
