During November, our family has a Thankful Pumpkin. We pick out a special one from the pumpkin patch and save it for 11/1. Every day, we try to write something we are thankful for on that pumpkin. I hope your family will join in on the tradition and print out the Thankful Pumpkins template we created below to tell someone at RAE, or many someones, how gRAEtful you are for them!

I'm so appreciative for all of the support from our community. Your generous donations helped us purchase the new gym graphic that was installed over the long weekend. (See photo below!)

Hope to see y'all at the PTA Meeting this Thursday at 11:30 a.m. Light lunch will be provided.

– Gretchen Smith, PTA President
