We want your pictures for the 5th grade graduation slideshow!


 

PTA helps create a slideshow of pictures of our 5th graders during their time at RAE (up through 4th grade) to show at the 5th grade graduation. We would love your help! Please submit up to 3 pictures of StingRAEs enjoying their time at RAE. 

 
The 5th grade teachers will also have a slideshow of this year, so we really want to collect younger pictures to showcase during the PTA slideshow. This will be playing as families arrive, before the ceremony begins. 
 
Due to the number of students we have, please limit your pictures to groups (i.e. no individual pictures).  Email President@raepta.org with any questions. We will close this form April 30th.

Kindness Crew

 

Kindness Crew is a kindness-based leadership program specifically for our 5th graders. The goal is to create a team of students in our school with the sole purpose of inspiring and carrying out acts of kindness throughout the year toward the entire student body! Our Kindness Crew motto is: Be Confident, Be Courageous, Be Kind.

 

The PTA has purchased a special t-shirt for every 5th grader and will host a lunch for every class along with Dr. Hobin and Ms. Gonzalez. During this lunch we talk about what it means to be kind to yourself and others and since 5th graders are the leaders in the school, they set a good example!

 

 

 

Thank you to everyone who volunteered! For more details, check out our Hands on Science page.
