Celebrating our CNS Staff!
Titan Families,
This week we shine light on our Cafeteria and Nutrition Services (CNS) staff. Our cafeteria manager is Ms. Evelyn. She joined us two years ago and is a gem on campus. On her team is Ms. Valerie and Ms. Dinorah. Our campus provided a whole school letter and a Student Leadership Team (SLT) video of appreciation at Titan Time last week at Titan Time, and throughout the week we encourage you to consider celebrating them in some unique way too for their service. Thank you so much in advance!
This week we also have a feeder pattern volleyball game we are encouraging your family to attend if possible. Four Points Middle School would love to have our River Place Elementary Community out to cheer on their teams Thursday at 5:30 for the B Team and about 6:30 for the A Team. Titans are encouraged to wear RPE clothing or school color clothes to get into the game for free. Adults attending need to purchase tickets. Our Titan Community will be given a Four Points MS sticker and will be asked to stand to be recognized at the game in between the two games, too! We hope to see you there!
As mentioned before, there are a few upcoming community events in October including our campus fall fest AND a feeder pattern trunk or treat. Please continue to read on and calendar times for your family to engage. Should you need anything, please feel free to reach out to our front office team at 512-570-6900.
Take care and be well,
Dr. Amy Sharp
Proud RPE Principal
