As we wind down to Winter Break, I just want to sincerely thank everyone that has helped in any way this semester. Be it sorting Chromebooks, re-stacking library books, chaperoning a field trip, decorating for choir, being a class reader, making lots and lots of copies, doing work baskets for teachers, helping at a Hands on Science lab, acting as a RAEwatch Dad on Duty, being in charge of an entire event, or contributing to a fundraiser. It takes a village, and we have an amazing one here at RAE. Have a wonderful winter break. We'll see y'all in January!

– Gretchen Smith, PTA President
