President’s Welcome

Greetings StingRAE families!

On behalf of your RAE PTA Board team, I hope you’ll join us this Thursday for our General Membership Meeting, where we will be forming our Nominating Committee. This committee is responsible for collecting candidates' nominations for the 2026–27 RAE PTA Slate of Officers—an important step in sustaining strong leadership for our school community.

It’s also a great opportunity to meet our new Principal, learn about upcoming events and programs, enjoy a sponsored lunch generously provided by iCode Katy and hear about their services too. We hope to see you there! Have questions in the meantime? Let me know!

                                                                        Sincerely,

Melissa Frymoyer &

 Your RAE PTA Board Team
