President’s Welcome

Greetings RAE families, What an incredible part of the year we are in! 🌟

There is so much excitement ahead, and I hope you’ll join us in all the fun:

  • Come out and cheer loud at this week’s basketball game—our students, staff, and teachers would love your support!
  • 5th grade families, be sure to review all the exciting end-of-year celebrations and events coming your way—there is so much to look forward to!
  • Our Spring Auction goes live this Friday at 5:00 PM—Yes… that front-of-the-line car rider pass could be yours!  Every dollar raised through our auction directly supports your PTA programs and events that make our school so special.

And while you’re planning ahead—don’t forget to check school supplies off your list early. Your future self will be so glad you did!

Thank you for being such an engaged, supportive, and spirited community. We couldn’t do it without you! Have questions in the meantime? Let us know!

With gratitude,
