Principal Vidrine once asked the faculty to examine their attitude towards teaching by answering the following question: Would you place your child in your class? My answer then and now: yes. I would place my child in my classroom ( Minnie Ruffin) without any hesitation. Today if that same question is asked, without hesitation, I would respond- I would send my child to the school where I now serve as Principal. I love being apart of the educational process and I am actively involved because I care! My daily reminder for teachers:

                                                                                                      Tell me and I forget

                                                                                                            Teach Me

                                                                                                        and I remember

                                                                                                           Involve me

                                                                                                          And I learn

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW
... it will not matter what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...
but the world may be different because I was important  
in the life of a CHILD.

Minnie Ruffin Elementary School's  Mission is to educate
each child to his/her ever-increasing
maximum academic and social levels.
