President’s Corner

Dear RAE Families,

November is a season of gratitude and connection, and our campus is filled with both. This month, we come together to honor our Veterans, partner with our Sister School through our Food Drive, and celebrate the incredible efforts of our students, staff, and families.

I invite you to join us for our upcoming General Membership Meeting this Thursday, where we’ll share updates, recognize achievements, and enjoy lunch generously sponsored by The HoneyBaked Ham Co. Your presence and involvement truly strengthen our RAE community.

Thank you for the many ways you give your time, talents, and hearts to make Roosevelt Alexander Elementary such a special place for every StingRAE.

With gratitude,
Melissa Frymoyer

Honoring Our Heroes at RAE

At RAE, it’s our proud tradition to celebrate and honor the brave men and women who have served our country. 

This November, our Wall of Honor will once again fill the main hallway — a special display for our StingRAEs to see and appreciate the heroes in our community.

💙❤️🤍 If you have a family member, friend, or neighbor who is serving or has served in the U.S. military, we would love to include them on our Wall of Honor.

Please complete the attached form, include a photo (in uniform or present day), and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher. CLICK HERE

We also invite our Veterans and their families to attend our Veterans Day event — please RSVP using the button below.

Let’s come together to show our deepest gratitude for those who protect our freedom. 💙❤️🤍
