A Note from Mrs. Pitts
Dear RES Families,
Here is the presentation that Michelle Long shared with many of our parents and community members last Friday. This represents many of our students and the terminology, if nothing else, bonds us with more respectful and thoughtful language. We want to thank Vicki Scally and the PTA for the grant that brought Michelle to us and we saw the impact when parents discussed the knowledge they gained and the resources they may now access. Below, please find a flyer for an upcoming opportunity.
With MUCH respect and appreciation,
Warmly,
Michelle Pitts
Field Day
Remember that May 31 is field day at RES!! Please have your child dress in comfortable clothing, wear sneakers or a shoe they can run safely in, bring a BIG AND FILLED water bottle, apply sunscreen and.or bug screen at home. You will probably want to pack an extra set of DRY CLOTHES for your child.
Also, we are doing an Olympic theme this year for field day. We are asking students from each grade level to wear a certain color of shirt that day. These represent the colors of the 5 Olympic rings.
All students will also be given a bandana that matches the grade level color to use in the "Opening Ceremony" and to keep.
The colors are:
Kindergarten is YELLOW
First grade is RED
Second grade is BLUE
Third grade is GREEN
Fourth grade is BLACK

Please park in the lower lot (carpool if possible) and arrive by 8:00 am. Bring water and a cell phone to use as a timer. Volunteer sign in will be outside, there is no need to come in the building.

An Olympian Visits RES
Fourth graders in Mrs. Warden and Madame Piper's World Language Health class had the pleasure of meeting an Olympian last Friday! RJH teacher and speedskater, Caroline Kepta, shared her amazing experience in participating in the Olympics. Students had the opportunity to see special souvenirs and videos from three different Olympic Games, and the chance to ask all of their burning questions about the Olympics. We all can't wait to watch the Olympic Games in Paris this summer!
RJH Connection
In an effort to create a ONE STOP SHOP for families, we are now publishing the RES and RJH newsletter on Thursdays and sharing the link in one place:)
