Reynolds' Report
Hello Roadrunner Families!
Thank you so much to our families for always coming through for all of our awesome events and fundraisers. From the fantastic showing at the Harvest Festival, to coming in at the last minute to ensure we had enough candy and trinkets for our Trick'o'Treat parade, to the wonderful effort put into our Believe Kids Cookie Dough Fundraiser.
We have such a special community and I am so honored to be a part of it!
Our kids did a great job with our fall fundraiser, bringing in funding to support the fun events and supports that our PTO contribute to our school culture. If you ordered any perishable items from our Cookie Dough fundraiser, they will be arriving at our school on Wednesday, November 6th. Our PTO will work to get the items organized in the morning to facilitate a smooth and quick pick-up process.
To pick up items, please come to the cafeteria front door between 2:30pm-5:30pm on Wednesday, November 6th to pick up your items. We do not have extra storage space, so it is important to have your items picked up this day. Please make arrangements to have someone help get your items if you are unable to come during this time. We want everyone to get their items fresh and cold on the day of our distribution.
We are excited to have a great week with your kiddos!
Happy November, Roadrunners!

- Earn Box Tops for participating products by scanning receipts with the Box Tops app.
- When you shop online or use delivery services, you can earn Box Tops by forwarding your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com or by uploading it with the Box Tops app. Learn more about submitting e-receipts here.
