Thank you to everyone that came out to our Open House at Eagle Ridge Academy of Brooklyn Center location this past Saturday! We loved getting the opportunity to meet new families and share why Eagle Ridge Academy is a truly exceptional place to learn and grow.

Families heard from Chief Executive Officer Jason Ulbrich and Principal Sutton Rehwaldt, toured the school, met kindergarten teacher Paige Schneider and learned about ERA's Kindergarten and first grade curriculum, and spoke with student ambassadors, ERA parents, and other ERA staff.

Couldn't make it this weekend? There is still time to join us at our Virtual Open House TONIGHT at 6:00 p.m. Register here to receive the link to the virtual meeting: https://eagleridgebrooklyncenter.fsenrollment.com/portal/public_calendars/eagle_ridge_academy_of_brooklyn_center_virtual_open_house. #GoGryphons #ClassicalEducation

Happy long weekend, Gryphons! As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow due to conferences. We hope you get a chance to play in the snow like our School of Grammar Gryphons did today. ☃️

If you're joining us this evening for in-person conferences, the Used Uniform Sale, the Book Fair, or Senior Night, please be careful on your drive here. Yesterday, School of Rhetoric students showed citizenship by joining together to help push cars through as they got stuck in the snow on Bren Road (last picture!). 🚗 #GoGryphons
