Dear Reading Elementary "Rockets" Families & Community Members:

What a fabulous concert we witnessed Thursday evening!  Bravo to our students and their amazing music director, Mrs. Morton.  If anyone would like to share pictures for the blog, please send them to me!  



Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:
  • Everyone who came to the Winter Concert!  
  • Heather Evans, Vanessa Maxham, and Kristen Hurd for donating food for the RAP program!
  • Esther Allen for decorating the town hall for the concert!

Next Blog - Due to the holidays, the next blog will be published on Sun., Dec. 30.  I wish you all the most memorable holiday season ever!   

Ski Runners   Please send in your forms to Ski Runners directly to Ski Runners. Also, please let Mrs. Knight know if you will need transportation.  If there is enough need, we will get a bus, right now we only have 10 families signed up and their deadline was 12/1. The link is HERE for the packet as well.  If you signed up directly, please let the office know.

Afterschool Program - Please find HERE the registration form for Session 3 of our afterschool program.  We appreciate all of who have paid their balances from the last billing.  Bills will be coming out in January.

PBIS Celebrations - To celebrate the students reaching "E" on the school "rocket respectacle," all students can wear pajamas and slippers on Fri., Dec. 21.  Students should wear shoes to school and be prepared to go out to recess, so snowpants and sweatshirts are recommended.  After the holidays, we will be celebrating our "C" which will allow students to wear costumes (but no masks) to school.  More news on that in the 12/30/18 blog.  

Needed - We are short on WATERPROOF gloves and mittens for recess.  If anyone has any extras, please send them in.  Thanks!

BREAKFAST & LUNCH &  MENU FOR NEXT WEEK: 

Lunch & Milk Questions - If a child is free and reduced, milk is FREE with either breakfast or lunch.  If a child wants milk by itself, there is a 50 cent charge.  This is a federal government/state rule.  Please let us know if you have questions.  One option is to get the "grab and go breakfast" which is $1.85 and includes milk.
