Greetings RES Families!
This is a BIG week at Redding Elementary School as we welcome our new Principal, Melissa Labrosciano! In case you missed it, here's the Staff Spotlight from last week's Tuesday Newsday. Spotlight Here! Our students have also been learning fun facts about Principal Labrosciano on the morning announcements. Ask your child if they remember her favorite food. Hint: It's doughnuts!! The PTA will be hosting a series of meet and greet events in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes out to your email and our social media pages for more details!
Here's a quick peek at some cool upcoming PTA events/ opportunities coming your way!
- Month of Love! The PTA is bringing love, positivity and encouragement to the halls of RES! Students, staff and parents will have a chance to help us show RES some LOVE. Volunteers will be putting these uplifting messages on paper conversation hearts displayed throughout our school.
- The International Festival is having their first planning committee meeting this week! It's the perfect time to find out more about this awesome event and get involved!
- Bundle up for some *cool* outdoor ice skating at the PTA's free Members Celebration. There's still time to get your PTA membership and sign up to skate! Get your PTA membership here: www.resctpta.membershiptoolkit.com
