A Note from Mrs. Pitts

Dear RES Families and Supporters,


We would like to cordially invite our families to TWO fun events coming up in March! Please mark your calendars for an afternoon of Irish music and fun with Brian Corcoran, an old friend of mine who I have heard perform many times and enjoy more and more every year. The performance is at 1:45 PM on March 15. Please send a note if you are going to sign your child out following the concert.


We really want to encourage families to SAVE THE DATE on March 24 for our Walk-a-Thon. We will be raising money for the playground but will also have a DJ (Thank you, Mr. Wehbe!!!!) and fun activities and tasks for family members! This will run from 8:30 until about 10:00 AM.


We love having our families come and enjoy our community as much as we do!


We truly appreciate your support,

Michelle Pitts

Playground Update!

The current playground, for students in preschool through Grade Two, was built almost 30 years ago and is very much in need of an update to be more inclusive, welcoming, and fun for all children in the Rye community.


In order to meet our goal of having a new playground for the 2023-2024 school year, we need the community's help. We are seeking donations to help us meet our goal of $200,000. Through a partnership with the Rye PTA we have already raised over $80,000, but we still need your help.


Donate to the Rye Playground Fund

https://rye-elementary-school-playground-fundraiser-16047.cheddarup.com


If you have any further questions regarding a donation, please contact Allison Salzer, Rye PTA president and Playground Committee member at allison.brownell@gmail.com.

Life on a Plate

This week our theater team held auditions for Life on a Plate. Our second and third graders will be performing in April and we are more than ecstatic to have a production back at RES. Now back to clearing off the stage! We want to thank Jeffrey Elwood and Josh Goldberg for coming to give our third and fourth graders a change to see what an audition might look like to dispel any fears or the unknown!

100th Day

We made it! This week we celebrated our 100th day of school. Students had so much fun participating in 100th day activities and our staff spent the day thinking...we are already at 100! This year is flying so quickly but we are still having fun and have more to learn. Students in Ms. Caswell's class found 100 ducks, what an accomplishment and what fun!

Igloo

We are building an igloo in our front lobby made from recycled materials. Students have been helping Mrs. Boulay connect plastic using a glue gun and learning about aerodynamics and gravity along the way:) Come have a seat inside when it is all done!
