The following events are lead and managed by the parent teacher organization, with the help of RES volunteers:
Reading Rocks – This literacy fundraising challenge is at the start of the new school year and a great way for families to jump into reading after summer break. This is our organization’s primary fundraiser for the year.
Trunk or Treat – A fun Halloween event for children in grades K-5. It takes place in the bus loop, allowing families to get creative and for kids to have a great time!
Veterans Day Appreciation – An opportunity in the morning for students and families to remember and recognize the veterans that have helped keep our country safe. This event is for all RES families.
Popcorn Bingo – An annual RES tradition that takes place before the Thanksgiving break. It’s held during the school day, and volunteers are needed to pop popcorn the day before, as well as handout treats to winners.
Holiday Care Drive – An annual tradition to support local families that may be experiencing hardship. A reminder for all of us that giving can be even more rewarding than receiving.
