This month, our Roadrunners continue learning about perseverance—keeping on trying, even when something is hard! Students will practice remembering that when something feels challenging, they can try a new way, take it step-by-step, and keep going.

What: The Renton Park Resource Room is stocked with items like clothing, jackets, non-perishable food, toiletries, and more at no cost to families.

Who: The Renton Park Resource Room is available to any family who is in financial need of supplies at home. No strings attached!

Where: The Renton Park Resource Room is located in a private space in the building so you can explore in private.

How: If you would like to visit the Renton Park Resource Room, please contact Juliana Moreno (Community in Schools Liaison) at Juliana.moreno1@rentonschools.us to schedule a time to visit the room.

Get your cameras ready! We're excited to announce that in-person grade-level evening concerts are happening again this year. All concerts will be held in the Renton Park café with a 6:00 start time. Below is the schedule for this year:

• November 5: 2nd Grade
• December 10: 4th Grade
• February 11: 3rd Grade
• April 1 (no fooling): 5th Grade
• May 13: RK/Kindergarten
• June 3: 1st Grade

This month, our character skill is perseverance—the ability to keep going even when something is difficult.

Our weekly Let’s Talk questions invite families to explore what perseverance looks like at school, at home, and in everyday life. Set aside a few minutes to listen, share, and encourage one another!

Question to discuss as a family this week: Who encourages you when you feel like giving up, and how can you offer that encouragement?

REMINDER: Please complete the Meal Application! It is available at https://www.rentonschools.us/ departments/nutrition-services-warehouse/meal-applications. All students at our elementary schools receive one free breakfast and lunch each day. However we ask for you to complete a meal application in order to ensure your child's school qualifies for federal and state funding that is determined by parent income levels. You may also be eligible for other benefits such as reduced fees for programs and activities.
