What's New at Randolph?
Kids Heart Challenge
Randolph Elementary School is helping kids with special hearts through the Kids Heart Challenge. We want as many families as possible to learn about heart health and the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR. You can help by completing Finn’s Mission. When your student completes all the steps, they’ll earn a Lifesavers Cape and earn a chance to win two tickets to Super Bowl LXI in 2027! Sign up today at heart.org/schools or download the AHA Schools app.

February is Love the Bus Month
February is “Love the Bus Month”, a time when schools and communities everywhere recognize the iconic yellow school bus and the dedicated drivers who safely transport students each day. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the routes, the rides, and the friendly faces that help make learning possible. Love the Bus Month shines a spotlight on the buses and the people behind the wheel who ensure students travel to and from school safely, reliably, and with confidence.
This month also reminds us of the daily commitment it takes to make sure every child arrives at school ready to learn and returns home safely. For many students, the yellow school bus is where the school day begins and ends building responsibility, creating routine, and fostering meaningful connections. By recognizing and appreciating this essential service, communities strengthen and support dependable student transportation systems.
Be sure to take a moment to thank your bus driver this week!
