President’s Corner


Hello StingRAE families,

What an exciting season at Roosevelt Alexander Elementary — filled with joy and community — that makes RAE such a special place for our children.

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers, teachers, staff, and families who continue to support PTA programs and events through your time, talents, and generosity. 

Together, we are building a connected school community where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

I hope you'll read through all the updates and events happening this week and into November! 

And there's still space for a few more chilies and soups for our Teacher's & Staff's most favorite luncheon of the year....Souptakular!

With gratitude,
Melissa Frymoyer

FUN RUN 2025
Together We Can DO gRAEt Things!

We did it! A giant THANK YOU to our families and school community for your support for our annual Fun Run! 

Your support allowed us to surpass our fundraiser goal and raised a total of $48,000!! We are so grateful for all of you.  

Our students have earned a school-wide “Boo Bash” for meeting our goal which will be held during their recess time Friday, November 7th, and will get to enjoy popcorn and some extra fun during their recess. 

Our winning grades for team Sapphire will also have a popsicle celebration in recognition of their accomplishment as a team! 

Let’s go StingRAEs!!!!
