I hope all of you moms out there have been spoiled today! Happy Mother's Day to you all! 

• 5th grade parents – We have the party on Tuesday and graduation next week. Get your marquee shout-outs in before it's too late. 
• I hope to see you out at Piccolo Snowman on Wednesday evening for our final RAE Spirit Night of the year! 
• Our final All Pro Dads is on Friday. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. 
• Yearbooks have all gone home, but we have a very limited number of extras available for sale through the PTA website. 
• SCHOOL SUPPLIES! Order now for next year before school ends and you forget. Order by next Sunday and you'll be entered into a Sonic gift card raffle! Getting this necessary task done early AND a chance at a cherry limeade and tots? No beating that!
• We still have a need for a few event and committee chairs for the 2025-26 PTA. You will not regret saying yes and giving back to this wonderful school. Scroll down for more info. 

Finally, I hope you enjoy the pictures of how much we were able to show our appreciation to the RAE teachers and staff last week. Your generous donations throughout the year help fund all of these gifts and teacher appreciation events. I just love seeing the smiles on their faces during the week. 

– Gretchen Smith, PTA President
