Ranney School fourth graders visited Red Bank Charter School on November 16, 2016, to read to Kindergartners and first graders as part of a community outreach project.
After reading one or more books, the students drew pictures together about the stories they had read. The same groupof fourth graders is participating in the Global Read Aloud project this year, which involves students from all over the world listening to the same read-aloud books at the same time. Ranney’s classes read PAX by Sara Pennypacker, and connected with students in Waukesha, Wisconson through Kidblog and SKYPE. The students are also participating in Global Read Aloud's Give Back project to help raise funds to purchase books for children in need in Guatemala.

Our mission is to know and value every child, nurturing intellectual curiosity and confidence, and inspiring students to lead honorably, think creatively, and contribute meaningfully to society.
