RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG - ROCKETS REPORT - Sun., May 20, 2018

Dear Reading Elementary "Rockets" Families & Community Members,



This week is the PTO's "Teacher and Staff Appreciation" week.  Please contact Tots if you'd like to help out and haven't had time yet!


Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:
  • Lisa Sylvester & David McCarthy for chaperoning Gr. 1/2 Swimming.
  • Kristina S. for volunteering to chaperone Jr. Rangers Friday.
  • Parents who volunteer in PK.
Other Items of Interest:   

Pre-K Registration - The deadline is May 30.   If your child is currently enrolled in our PK program, they must be re-enrolled for next year. 

Gr. 6 Celebration - Please join us as we celebrate at 5 PM on Tuesday, June 12, as our 6th graders leave the RES nest and move on to the middle school.  They will spend a half day at the middle school on Wed., June 13.  This year we have moved it to the evening so working parents could make it, but every grade has a role in the ceremony.  Please bring your child to school by 4:45 PM to participate.   Afterwards, the PTO parents will be providing cupcakes.  

PTO Yard Sale - On Sat., June 2, the RES PTO will be holding a yard sale from 8 - 2 PM.  Please donate gently used items for this sale.  Items can be brought to school Thurs., May 31 after school, and Friday, June 1 during and after school.  Please bring items to the cafeteria.  We will be using these funds to help support the after school program next year.

Family Fun- Saturday, June 2, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.:  Trek to Taste The 10th annual celebration of trails, local food, and healthy living will be hosted at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park and Billings Park. Guided walks start at 10:30 and noon, or grab a map and venture out on your own. Choose from several hike options and along the way sample free, delicious foods from local producers.
