I’m udderly in love with the cows at the Hurd Elementary Program at the Ripley School on Lebanon Street!
And yes — all are welCOWme at our Hurd! Clever and true.
The Ripley Elementary School is more than a school — it’s a supportive and nurturing therapeutic day program designed for students in grades K–5 with diverse social, emotional, behavioral, and learning needs.
Their mission is to help every child build the skills they need — behavioral, social-emotional, and academic — to thrive in a traditional classroom setting.
At Ripley, every student is seen, supported, and celebrated — and greeted by a cow or two!
