We are off and rolling! Some reminders for the week:

• Make those final bids for RAE's online auction, get those Father/Son Cosmic Air tickets, clear an hour to attend our Volunteer Kick-Off on Tuesday at 10 a.m., and plan to have lunch with PTA on Sept. 5th for our first meeting of the year! 
• Make sure your raepta.org account is all set up for the year so you don't miss announcements from your homeroom parents. 
• And finally, become a member of our PTA! See below for reasons to join and some cool perks to membership. We would love for all those grandparents coming for lunch on 9/6 to join our PTA, too! 

Have a gREAt week and Labor Day weekend!
