Happy New Year!

Dear Walnut Ridge Families,

This is the Walnut Ridge School Blog, where we are planning to post updates weekly to assist our families in staying informed of our school and district events. You will continue to receive Friday School emails with pertinent issues, but most of our school reminders will be placed on this blog.

Congratulations Ms. Bubendorf!

We are delighted to announce that Ms. Samantha Bubendorf has been named Walnut Ridge's Governor's Educator of the Year! As the principal of Walnut Ridge, I have personally witnessed the positive impact Samantha has had on our students. Her dedication to her students is commendable, and she truly deserves this recognition.
