Titan Families,
This week is packed with a lot of learning, love, and fun! We hope to see you at our STEAM Night and that you engage in Career Day conversations at home with your Titan(s). Be sure to check out the flyers and information below as we launch April!
Many thanks to our families who showed up last week with their time and resources. On Thursday and Friday, we had our community rally to ensure we had coverage in the cafeteria when we were under staffed. Saturday, we had our families come together for the PTA gala and raise money for our campus. What a blessing it is to have so many answer the call of service in ways they can. Still wanting to support our efforts? Keep reading for ways to volunteer, and if you have not already, consider joining our PTA.
Let's make it a great week full of showing PRIDE in all we do in our community!
Take care and be well,
Dr. Amy Sharp
Proud RPE Principal
