The FUN doesn’t stop around here
Our wildcats crushed it with the fun run! So guess what?! … They earned HAT DAY EVERY FRIDAY TIL' CHRISTMAS!
That’s TEN Hat days!
Hat Day Friday kicks off this Friday 10/21!!
The Fall Meadow Farms catalog fundraiser will be available soon!
IMPORTANT INFO TO KNOW:
-Make checks payable to: WBPTO
-Order form and money due: 11/14
FORMS WILL BE SENT HOME NEXT WEEK ON 10/27
-Online School ID: Group ID - 1030148
(it's the same for all three schools so no worries if you mix up forms)
Our PTO fundraiser is super cool because you can register an
account online for your child and receive a unique web link that you can share
with friends and family across the country. All purchases through their link
will be credited to your child’s sales total and put them in the running for
our incentive prizes!
As if online ordering isn't exciting enough (you can still utilize the written form in your child's
packet), all purchases will direct ship to your home or the homes of those
ordering through your child.
2022 Fall Book Fair

Box Tops
The Box Tops for Education program transitioned to a new digital format. You can now scan your shopping receipts from any store (like Market Basket, Trucchi’s, Target, Walmart, CVS, Staples, etc.) to earn money for our school. Every little bit helps our school! Click here to download the app today or send your receipts to school. We are happy to scan them for you!
RLM Families, you are off to a STRONG start on our Box Top fundraiser this year. We are pretty close to matching the funds we raised last year already! That is great because the transition to the digital format was a hard one for us and we have not been raising as much money as we have when we clipped out Box Tops. So THANK YOU for committing to the new digital format!
There is a great bonus opportunity going on right now, along with special incentives for our Target and Walmart shoppers. Please spread the word for others to download the app and follow your lead!
Wildcat P.R.I.D.E. and "Pawsitivity" Points
Our Social-Emotional Committee is implementing a collaborative behavioral management program to support all teachers, in all learning environments. After all, RLM is ONE SCHOOL, ONE TEAM! All staff members have developed a uniform approach for guiding students to achieve common goals and expectations for mindful behavior. We want to help our wildcats grow to be the best that they can be. This includes accountability for mindful and purposeful actions, consistency, and upholding our district's PRIDE values.
Now, you may have heard your kiddo talking about Pawsivity Points. That is a good thing! Pawsitivity Points are distributed by all staff members as a reward/token for following school/classroom rules and expectations. Students save them in a classroom pocket chart and set a goal to spend their points at the school store. The School Store will be open on Fridays during the students’ snack breaks to allow students who have earned and saved enough Pawsitivity Points to select prizes.
ONE SCHOOL, ONE TEAM - keep making good choices wildcats!

Wildcat Cafe
RLM Cafe is excited to introduce A la Carte Snacks for Grades 2 and 3 beginning 10/24/22
Students will have a daily option to purchase for $0.50 one A la Carte Snack. We will offer two choices daily (for example Goldfish or Scooby Doo Grahams). Students must have funds on their account in order to purchase an A la Carte Snack.
Student Lunch Accounts- My School Bucks
We offer two ways to add money to a student account:
Register for a My School Bucks account and electronically add funds- plus you’ll be able to monitor your students' purchases. You will need your student's 10-digit State ID number to register for a MySchoolBucks account. This number can be found in ASPEN. Even if you do not add money electronically, MySchoolBucks allows you to monitor your student's transactions in the cafeteria. https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/getmain?requestAction=home
Cash or Checks may be turned in to school. The money must be given to the homeroom teacher in the morning in a labeled envelope which includes the students name, teachers name, the amount of money and indicate it is lunch money.
*As a reminder Complete Breakfasts and Lunches are free for all students*
