President’s Welcome

Greetings RAE Families,

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, caregivers and mother figures in our community! 💐 Thank you for the love, support and dedication you give our children every day. ❤️

  • 5th grade parents – We have the party on Tuesday and graduation next week. Get your marquee shout-outs in before it's too late. 
  • SCHOOL SUPPLIES! PSST...Order now for next year before school ends and you forget...ahhh, Summer! 
  • We still have a need for a few event and committee chairs for the 2026-27 PTA. 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 appreciation events.

Thank you!

With appreciation,
Melissa Frymoyer
PTA President

School Supplies for 2026-2027 Year
