May 31, 2024
 
Good Sports
 
The Ravens Nest was full of cheers on Tuesday as SRLA celebrated at the Sports Banquet. Athletes from the Cross Country, Volleyball, Basketball, and Track & Field teams were recognized for their wins and all their hard work. In addition, 8th Graders Mallie Farmer and Harcourt Lucius II were honored with the Spirit of the Raven award.
 
Many thanks to all of our parent volunteer coaches for their time and dedication this year. And enormous gratitude goes to outgoing Athletic Director Harcourt Lucius for his tireless enthusiasm for every SRLA team and athlete. Thank you Coach Lucius—the Ravens have been lucky to have you!
 
8th Grade on the Ranch
 
SRLA's 8th Graders began their end-of-year celebrations with a field trip to Rocking Horse Ranch on Wednesday. Students enjoyed horseback riding, pickleball, kayaking, beach volleyball, water slides, banana boat rides, and more. What a great way to start the countdown to graduation!
