Celebrating Our 2nd Semester Star Polishers
Before we share our upcoming events, we want to celebrate our 2nd Semester Star Polisher award winners! These staff members go above and beyond for our students and their fellow staff members every single day. Congratulations to Jordan Clingan, Heather Eck, Lindsey Cote, Heather Chrissan, Kelly Hodgson-Taulbee, and Rianna Babb for this well-deserved recognition. We're grateful for their dedication to making Reynolds such a special place!
Welcome to the Ship Pep Rally - May 1st
On May 1st, Prosper High School has invited our 8th graders to campus for their inaugural "Welcome to the Ship" pep rally. This exciting event will give our outgoing 8th graders a taste of what's to come as they transition to high school. It's a wonderful opportunity for them to connect with the PHS community and get excited about the next chapter!
We're looking forward to celebrating with your students at these wonderful events. More specific details and information will be shared as each event approaches!
