PTA Membership Race
Our RES Community is out of this world! Our Membership Race is officially CLOSED. Congratulations to Pre-school/Pre-K, Kindergarten and 2nd Grade - each of these grade levels earned an extra recess!
We weren't able to navigate through the Milky Way to PJ Day or give away any Star bucks, but we made one small step for the RES PTA... Stay tuned for our next membership challenge in the coming months!
