Our first HOUSE DAY of the school year is almost here and we could not be more excited! We are looking for parent volunteers to help assist with House Day on Wednesday, October 11th! Please sign up HERE if you are able to help volunteer from 9am-1pm! *We do not allow drop in visitors on house days, so if you would like to be a part of this awesome day, please consider being a volunteer - THANK YOU! All pre-K, Kindergarten and new students to RES, will receive house shirts on the the day of the event. Please check out our HOUSE SPIRIT STORES (links below), for even more gear!
