Titan Families,
Welcome back from a long weekend! Last week was phenomenal on campus. We held Career Day, the book fair, and STEAM night. Our campus community was buzzing with learning, laughter, and connection. Many thanks to Ms. Wade, Ms. Randall, and Ms. Shahidullah for supporting and connecting our staff, families, and community partners to make those events possible. Families, we cannot thank you enough for your continued love, support, resources, and time. It's truly magical to see it all come together for our students.
This week we have our PTA General Meeting (with child care), and next week we will have Dr. Bruce Gearing on campus for a coffee chat hosted by PTA. Be sure to read on for more information and be sure to RSVP. We also have a donation drive led by our Student Leadership Team (SLT)! Be sure to read on and engage as you can.
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

The WatchDOGS volunteer program is open for the spring semester.

Memories will be made, kids will never forget, and the faculty will be grateful. We’d love to have you join us!
