The Buzz

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy our school concert last Tuesday night! The event was well attended. It's SO nice to welcome our greater school community back to school events. Shout out to our AMAZING PTO for organizing the ice cream social after the concert. In addition to enjoying ice cream, everyone seemed to enjoy visiting with friends and neighbors out on the playground. We have an AWESOME school community!

We need your help to keep our gardens growing strong throughout the summer! Please sign up for a week to take care of the RVS gardens -- watering, weeding, and harvesting throughout your week. The better our gardens do in the summer, the more food we'll have to serve to students in the fall. Thanks for your support!

RVS Field Day will take place on Wednesday, June 7th. We have a morning full of fun activities planned. Mr. Chandler has done a great job organizing various events that will take place as students rotate from station to station. Students will enjoy a picnic style lunch outside on that day. We are hoping for good weather (just in case, a rain date has been set for 6/12). Here are a few things to keep in mind so that everyone has a fun day:

• Apply sunscreen at home before coming to school
• Wear sneakers
• Dress for the weather and a day of play

There may be a special surprise for the afternoon ... stay tuned!

Outside of the Pokemon Club at the Bridges Afterschool Program, Pokemon cards are not welcome at school. Not only are they disruptive to the learning environment, oftentimes disagreements arise over cards that are traded, borrowed, damaged, lost, and/or stolen. We'd like to focus on learning, not resolving disputes over playing cards. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
