Week of April 13- April 17, 2015

 

Thank you so much for class donations…we have planted our seeds!!

 

Information came home today via email regarding RCE yard stakes.  If you want one, print the order form and attach payment.  Orders are due next week on WEDNESDAY.   

 

It is time to order next year’s school supplies.  The cost for first grade supplies has been adjusted.  Remember you are ordering first grade supplies, not Kindergarten.  Let us know if you have questions/need help!

 

THIS Friday is our field trip to MMS to see The Little Mermaid.  Thank you for completing the forms and sending payment.  We will leave at 9:30 a.m.  If you are joining us, be at MMS at 9:45.  Stay in your cars until you see us unload the busses.  After we unload the busses, join our group, as MMS moms will be there to greet us.  Also please send your child in a RCE shirt and with a sack lunch.  The lunch needs to be in a Ziploc bag labeled with your child’s name.  Do not forget the drink!   After the play, we will picnic at Bendwood Park.  If weather doesn’t allow for this, we will picnic back at RCE.  Keep your fingers crossed.

 

Looking ahead to NEXT week…..on Monday, April 20^th, Tuesday, April 21st and Wednesday, April 22nd, upper grades will be STARR testing.  Our lunch schedule could be different.  Also, that is a day we can’t have visitors/volunteers on campus.  Thank you for understanding our need for a quiet atmosphere at RCE those days.
