Reading Elementary Rockets Report: RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG - ROCKETS REPORT

Dear Reading Elementary "Rockets" Families & Community Members:

Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:

Sue Molder for all her help with Ski Runners!
Tatiana for sending in copies of all the Mama Mia paperwork for all the families.
Donna Martin-Stahl for helping get sand & salt from the town garage for us!

Other Items of Interest:

Outdoor Recess Policy - Students need to be dressed appropriately for playing in the snow. Students should have snow pants, boots, hats, mittens/gloves, and a winter coat in order to be in the snow. Students that don't have snow pants can be outside but on the blacktop. We're encouraging students to pack their things the night before so they don't forget their shoes, snow pants, etc.

Winter Sports - We had 26 students participate in Ski Runners! It was an exciting afternoon filled with smiles and laughter! Some students didn't want to come in when it was time because they were having so much fun! The groups change as the weeks progress. It's important to remind your child that the learning is step by step. Students are not taken to the "J" bar until they can control their skis and stop when needed. Please encourage your children to participate in all eight weeks. I'm sure they slept well as they used lots of energy Friday!

Mama Mia Dinner and Valentines Day Baskets - Letters came home from the PTO last week. Links to the letter, raffle tickets, and invitations will be linked on the PTO page of the RES website as of Monday. Together we can do so much more!

Message from Pre-K Teacher, Mrs. Faulkner -
Dear Pre-K Families,

The PTO is sponsoring a pasta dinner fundraiser on Sunday, February 11th. We sure hope you are able to support this fundraiser that helps pay for special activities for our students by attending and/or helping out in the kitchen that evening. In conjunction with the dinner, gift baskets of a variety of themes will be raffled off. We ask that if you are able to, please bring in any arts and crafts items to contribute to the Pre-K basket to be raffled off. There will be a labeled box or basket in the classroom on top of the puzzles and table toys shelves for you to place them in. Again, thank you for your help. Kathi and Amy
