Congrats to two of our very own- Mrs. Shamblin and Miss Carson! They were each named two of the county’s Teachers of Excellence for showing the most reading gains during the 4th 9 weeks last school year. We have a fabulous staff, and we are proud these two are part of the Mustang club at Ruthlawn!!! Keep RIDE-ing ladies!!

🐎💚 BUSY LEARNING, BIG GROWTH, AND LOTS OF FUN AT RUTHLAWN!

We’ve been BUSY the last few weeks with so much learning, growing, and fun! From exciting classroom activities to meaningful learning experiences, our Mustangs are making the most of every day! 📚✨

At Ruthlawn, our Mustangs RIDE! 🐎

💚 R – Respect
🤍 I – Independence
💚 D – Determination
🤍 E – Excellence

These aren’t just words on a wall—they’re the values that guide us as we learn, lead, and grow together. We are so proud of our Mustangs for showing their RIDE spirit each and every day!
