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

Dear Reading Elementary "Rockets" Families & Community Members:

Every visitor that comes to our school is so impressed by our students, staff, and our beautiful building. This past week the 3rd and 4th graders traveled to the Tunbridge Fair for Education Day and several adults commented to me about the politeness and good manners of our students. It truly does take a village, so thank you for all you do to encourage polite, respectful behavior of our children.

Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:

The parents who attended the PTO meeting Wed. evening.
Our pre-K volunteer parents!
Everyone who pre-paid their lunch bill for September!

Other Items of Interest:

Forms to be Completed - On Monday, we will be sending home two additional forms that we would ask you to please complete. One is a permission slip for local Spring Brook Farm. We are so blessed to have this resource nearby that it makes it easier if we have the form completed and on file for activities there. The second is an e-mail information form. The SU redid the health forms which made us redo our emergency contact form, and we mistakenly left off the e-mail portion. Thanks for your help sending these in! IF you haven't completed your back to school forms, please send them in tomorrow.
