A letter from the Principal

Dear Roadrunner Families,

This Thanksgiving season, we’re excited to celebrate with so many special events on campus! Join us on November 21st for our Thanksgiving Feast—families are welcome, and we encourage you to purchase tickets in advance to secure your seat and ensure there’s enough food for all. We’re also looking forward to our beloved Thanksgiving Variety Show and the RISE send-off ceremony for our 5th graders.

As holiday break approaches, we want to emphasize the importance of consistent attendance. Every day in class supports your child’s learning journey, helping them build strong habits and stay on track academically. Thank you for prioritizing your student’s attendance and helping them make the most of this exciting time!

We look forward to celebrating together!

Warm regards,

Katie Fehlker, RRE Principal
