Act 46 Revote - There is a "revote" this Wed., May 31, on whether or not RES should become part of the consolidated supervisory district. Voting will be from 7 AM - 7 PM at the Town Hall. There have been consistent alternative structure committee meetings. For more information, please contact Board Member Donna Martin, or community members Rachel Navaro, or Peter Seman.

PBIS Schoolwide Celebrations - As a school, we encourage positive behavior by students receiving blue "respect" tiles which go into a large "Respect Rocket" every Friday. This past week, our students FILLED the rocket! So RES students will be celebrating "positive behavior" choices over the next two weeks. These celebrations are "experiences" - not material objects. On Tuesday, members of our student council will be telling the students about the following choices. Please don't tell your students about it. as the students want to announce it. We're sharing it with you so you can plan accordingly if you want to help your student decorate a hat, etc. NO need to buy anything for this - homemade is encouraged!

Playground Rules - If your family is staying to enjoy our beautiful playground after school, that's great. PLEASE help us by putting all toys away in the "ball" cabinet and cover the sandbox.

Photos - If anyone has any photos from any field trips they could share with me for the blog I'd appreciate it.

News from Pre-K and Kindergarten: Our classes thank Amy and Scott Harkins of Reading Greenhouse for the tour of the greenhouses and the flowers we planted that we got to take home. Our hike to the greenhouses and seeing all the beautiful flowers was fun.
