Rippowam Cisqua School

On Friday afternoon, more than 600 members of the Rippowam Cisqua School community gathered on the Lower Campus to meet new friends, reconnect with old friends, and celebrate the start of the School year at our third annual All School Picnic.

 

The picnic brought together members of the entire School community, including parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends, for good food and lots of fun. In the Pole Barn, the crowd gathered for carnival games, glitter tattoos, and delicious food prepared by Food Services Director Bill Lacourciere and his team. Outside, a DJ kept the crowd dancing all afternoon and into the evening. An inflatable obstacle course occupied countless children (and a couple of brave adults) throughout the afternoon, and the children enjoyed playing together on the playground and the fields--and there was even an assortment of exotic animals on display for the children to learn about and discover!

 

The celebration was a huge success, and it would not have been possible without the great work of our parent volunteers, led by Anne Citrin and Angelina Lipman. Special thanks to them for their tremendous efforts—and thanks to all of the members of the community who attended the gathering! Special thanks as well to the Buildings and Grounds team for all that they did to help make the event such a success. Thanks as well to all of our ninth grade student volunteers! It was a wonderful afternoon, and we can’t wait to gather together again at Homecoming on September 29^th!
