Dear Roadrunner Families ~
Highlights from the week include:
- Our 2nd Graders had an unforgettable adventure during their field trip to the Seattle Zoo! Students had the opportunity to observe animals up close, ask thoughtful questions, and make real-world connections to their science learning. A big thank you to our staff and parent chaperones for making this trip both educational and memorable.
- On Thursday evening, our talented 2nd graders took the stage for a beautiful concert performance. Families filled the audience as students proudly showcased their hard work in music class, singing and performing with such joy and confidence. It was truly a special night celebrating the arts and student creativity!
- Friday brought lots of smiles and laughter as students participated in our “Dress Like a Staff Member” spirit day! From matching outfits to favorite accessories, it was heartwarming (and hilarious!) to see students' admiration for the adults in our building. Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun — it was a day full of school spirit!
- Our annual Book Fair was a huge hit! Students loved browsing, building their home libraries, and discovering new favorites. Thank you to our PTA and volunteers for organizing such a wonderful event and helping to foster a love of reading in our community!
- Bingo Night was a blast! Families came together for an evening of friendly competition, prizes, and community connection. Events like these remind us how special it is to gather as a school family. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a fun and memorable night!

Did you know spending just 5 minutes a day listening and talking to your children can have remarkable results? Having short, meaningful talks can build family bonds, give children a strong sense of support and self confidence, and strengthen their communication skills.
Question to discuss as a family this week: What is the toughest part about being a kid?

Thanks to a state and federal funding, Renton School District will again provide breakfast and lunch meals free to most students this school year. All students can eat school breakfast and lunches free except at Risdon Middle School, Hazen High and the H.O.M.E. program. Unfortunately, the federal Community Eligibility Provision formula left us unable to include these schools.
Important note: While not required for free school meals, families are strongly encouraged to complete this Child Nutrition and Education Benefit form to help students and families receive important resources like: before and after school academic and enrichment programs; resources for classrooms; guidance and college counselors; health and wellness services; state summer grocery debit cards (SunBucks), and more. Submit your completed form to RSD.mealform@rentonschools.us or drop off at your school.
