RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG - ROCKETS REPORT - Sun., Feb. 25, 2018

Dear Reading Elementary "Rockets" Families & Community Members:

It's that messy time of year when snow (and ice) still covers the playground but temperatures start rising.  Please have your students still bring their "winter gear" even though the days are getting warmer!  Thanks!  Think Spring!  

Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:

• Sue Molder for baking cookies for the skiers and all the parents who help out at Ski Runners.
• The parents and community members who bought raffle tickets!
• Everyone who came to the Mama Mia dinner! 

Other Items of Interest:  

Ski Runners - This will be our 7th of 8 Fridays.  We will leave at 1 PM.   We're hoping there's still snow!  If there's a change, we'll let you know!

Intra-District Choice -  There was an e-mail that came out to families regarding intra-district choice. (I didn't get one so I can't forward to you.)  Here's the website link for information if that's something you're interested in.

After-School Program - We will definitely have an after-school program next school year.  I will be graduating in August from all my classes.  Information about the program will be coming out in May.  

All Day Pre-K - Starting in the 2018-19 school, all day Pre-K will be available.  The afternoons will be tuition based, but it's an alternative for families.
