RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG - ROCKETS REPORT - Sun., Jan. 29, 2017

Dear Reading Elementary "Rockets" Families & Community Members:

We had new students join us last week, and we'd love to have more!  We've got the kind of school that parents dream about having - your child feels safe, cared for, learning is individualized, and does not/can not fall between the cracks in the "large education assembly line!"  We need help to market our school and get the word out!  We need to grow to stay alive and vibrant!  Please contact the school if you'd like to help with this!  

  
Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:
  • Ski Runner parent/community volunteer drivers  - Pete Seaman, Sue Mulder, Kurt Allen, and Matt Maxham!
  • All of you who have clipped and sent in Box Tops!  
  • The PTO for all they do to support our school!  

Other Items of Interest:

Afterschool Program - THIS Wed., Feb. 1, there will ONLY be "Bookmaking" with Amy Harkins.  The teachers must attend the Act 46 forum being held at the SU.  

Snow Delay Protocol - During the midweek I sent out a NEW delay protocol being initiated by the SU.  If you did not receive a copy, please contact Libbet.    

Non-Ski Runners Field Trip - For those students who have no participated in the Ski Runner program, we will be having a field trip on Fri., Feb. 17, to the Springfield Bowling Alley.  "Orange" permission slips came home last week, so please sign and return to the office.  The PTO has graciously agreed to support this trip and parents are asked to send spending money only.  

Do You Know An RES Alumni? - Our library media/tech classes are conducting a survey and creating a digital living history to represent the past and present of Reading Elementary School and we need your help!   Did you attend Reading Elementary School?  Do you know someone who did?  If you did, then please complete the survey and ask other alumni, to complete the attached SURVEY. Students will be researching their town and school history and preserving it digitally. Check out what we've done so far at RES PAST AND PRESENT.

    1. Dear Cathy,
      I have often wondered where you ended up after we last spoke so many years ago. It looks like you have been a very busy lady with an interesting and successful career. Sending happy thoughts your way... Lynne Holdren
