Message from RPA President
|
Thank you to everyone for the generous donations which we received from over two-thirds of Raskob families for the faculty holiday gifts. Thank you also for bringing cookies for the holiday luncheon and for the faculty to take home. Special thanks go to Karen DeGalan and Lisa Jones for organizing the lunch and holiday gifts.
Teachers and parents are showing interest in fixing up the school garden in the walled area near the elementary classrooms. Two parents have offered to help so far. If you have a green thumb or know of any nonprofits who help with school gardens, please send me, Marrianne, an email.
Another big thank you to everyone who ordered See's Candy and to Dayna Broussard for organizing the fundraiser. Thanks to all your orders we raised $800 for Raskob's students and teachers.
Our next RPA meeting will be on Wednesday, January 8 at 8:30am in the California Room. We will talk about planning our parent social evening and fundraiser (we are still looking for a catchy name) which will be held on the evening of Saturday, March 8. We will also talk about getting Raskob Cares up and running so that we can help Raskob families experiencing difficult times.
As you finish your holiday shopping this season, please don't forget use our own access point to Amazon or find your favorite store in the eScrip Online Mall. Raskob will earn a percentage of your total shopping amount just by you using these access points.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the Winter Concert on Friday, December 20!

See's Certificates To Come Home on Friday
The See's Candy orders delivery this week did include the gift certificates. Unfortunately the gift certificates come in a separate delivery via UPS. We are expecting the gift certificates tomorrow, December 13. The office will send them home with your child. If there were any problems with your order, please let me, Dayna know by Friday, December 13.
Thank you for supporting the RPA and Raskob Day School.
