RNE Friday Newsletter

We love this time of year! Thank you for support of our Book Fair and Shoetober- used shoe drive! We also want to thank all of our volunteers that came for Farm to School and passed out locally grown apples during all lunches to students!

All Fulton County Schools and offices will be closed November 24th through the 28th for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Mrs. Simon and Mrs. Gartner would like to thank everyone for their support of the Scholastic Book Fair. We will use the funds raised to reinvest in our Media Center by purchasing books and other materials. If you have any funds left on your e Wallet, you can go to the Book Fair website and shop until November 19th. Any funds left after the 19th will roll over for next year's Book Fair.

There is no way to have an event like this without the help of our AMAZING volunteers! Thank you to all of the people who gave their time to help run our cash registers and help the kids choose books. A BIG SHOUT OUT to Amanda Lyons for coordinating all of our volunteers for us!

We’re thrilled to celebrate our talented RNE Bears who shined in the 2025 PTA Reflections Art Contest! Congratulations to our winners, who will advance to the District and National levels!

DATE & TIME
DECEMBER 1ST - 17TH / EVERY MORNING AT RNE CARPOOL & BUS DROPOFF

What To Do
There will be special collection bins waiting making it easy for students to drop off their gifts as they head to class. Let’s fill those bins to the brim with holiday magic!

During the collection dates on Fridays, keep an eye out for our jolly Dads Club members, decked out in holiday spirit, play festive tunes, ready to collect your gifts with huge smiles and upbeat energy!
This is our chance to make the season unforgettable by rallying together as a community. The RNE Dads Club is bursting with excitement as we appreciate your kindness, enthusiasm, and generosity to support bringing holiday cheer to less fortunate local children. All gifts are tax deductible and more information about the Toyland program can be found here: https://nfcchelp.org/toyland-shop/
