Titan Families,
Last week was bliss welcoming back our families. Each classroom was buzzing with new year goals and energy was high and optimistic. To support goal setting and making healthy food choices, our PTA set up Saturday, January 14th as our next spirit event! It is ALL DAY at Kale Me Crazy and you can order for delivery through this link! Please be sure to mention River Place ES. We hope you will go grab some food and support our school while you're out and about town.
It's the middle of the school year, and with that comes plans and thoughts of the school year's end regarding items like the school yearbook. That's right! The deadline is fast approaching, so sure to order your yearbook to capture this school year's memories! 5th grade parents, if you wish to purchase prideline ads in the yearbook, the price increases after January 20th. See the flyer in this newsletter for more information.
This week we will launch a long weekend. There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 16th in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The City of Leander is hosting a MLK Day March and Celebration that day and our clothes closet will have an area set up there, too. It's a great event to celebrate and learn as a community if your family is looking for something free and fun to do!
Let's make it a great week of PRIDE in all we do!
Take care and be well,
Dr. Amy Sharp
Proud RPE Principal
