In your child's folder today is a flier about our Spring Field Trip.  We are thrilled to be visiting Memorial  Middle School on Friday, April 17th to see The Little Mermaid!  The cost is $5.00 per child.  We will leave at 9:30 to see the show.  Afterwards, we will picnic at Bendwood Park.  Parents are welcome to meet us at MMS to see the show and to follow us for the picnic at the park.  If you want to join us, email your teacher and send $5.00 for yourself, as well.    

Please send in any individual picture money/forms and signed report card envelopes.

Remember tomorrow is another testing day at RCE- 4th grade is taking the STARR writing exam. Thank you for not visiting campus.

Our new field day is May 1st! Details to come.............
