Dear RES Families,
I want to thank the community for supporting our Blue Ribbon Celebration! Here is the full documentary video as you may not have fully absorbed it the first time:) YOU all helped make RES a Blue Ribbon School. We are so proud. Now...back to our regularly scheduled program until our Seacoast Science Center RES trip on May 13!

TALENTS BY THE SEA- Our 20th Anniversay Edition!
A Gallery of Poems, Short Stories and Art
2024 Patron of the Arts
Dear RES parents,
The “Talents by the Sea” literary journal is an annual publication, which features the best artwork and writing samples of Rye students in grades K through 8. It is the well-conceived concept of a group of teachers, community members, and parents, whose primary goal is to foster great writing and art in our students. For the many wonderful artists and writers in our schools, being published is their Super Bowl trophy or their gold medal for a competition. Each year, a free copy is distributed to all Rye students, teachers, and involved community members. We cannot do this without many generous donations. Our biggest donor every year is Author Dan Brown.
Please encourage your child to submit a written piece or any artwork. Cover art work is due by March 8th and will be voted on by the community. Inside art and writing have a deadline of March 29th. The submissions can be done at home or at school. Please let me know if you are interested in judging written work for the journal at jdefreze@sau50.org.
Contributions to help publish this amazing magazine, of any amount, are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. You can return this sheet to the office. All checks must be made payable to: Rye School District, Treasurer
Sincerely,
Jacquie DeFreze
Talents by the Sea coordinator

Lunch with Students
We do allow one family member at a time to have lunch with their child(ren) but this is very optional and we don't want families to feel pressured to attend.
- Email resoffice@sau50.org if you would like to attend with the date/time (starting October 1). It is important to anticipate who will be in the building. We love these opportunities for students and their family members but we will always put safety first.
- We do have a focus during this time...eating for energy and brain power!
- Family members must meet the child in the cafeteria and leave from the cafeteria.
- Lunch times are:
Kindergarten-11:45-12:10
First Grade-12:15-12:40
Second Grade-12:15-12:40
Third Grade- 11:15-11:40
Fourth Grade-11:15-11:40
