RPA Presidents' Message
Happy Thursday! 

Time is flying by and  tonight is the Upper School Back to School Night.  We hope to see the parents of the older kids there.  There will be a few sign up sheets for the last of the volunteer positions. Many thanks to the numerous parents and guardians who have signed up.  It really does help the school have a fantastic fun filled year.

The Fall Fiesta is almost here! It's  Saturday, September 24th at Wanda and Karl Cole-Frieman's wonderful home.  We hope you can join us for a fabulous evening full of great food, drink, and Samba (lots of pressure!).  

Please feel free to ask us questions and let us know your issues and ideas.  We do the best we can to keep the communications open in our wide-spread community!

Have a good weekend!

Cheers,

Mark Headley

We're looking for 3 more parents - 1 from elementary and 2 from middle school classes - to help coordinate all parent volunteers signed-up to help with various activities. Parent volunteers are ready to implement the four Teacher Breakfast dates throughout the school year, Teacher Appreciation Week which includes the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon in May, and End-of-Year teacher/staff gifts. The Four Co-Chairs will team together to make these special events happen.  You'll not only serve with the list of confirmed parent volunteers, but Room Parent leaders too - it's a team effort with this job!  Of course, your 20 Family Hours are fulfilled.
