Happy Thursday Everyone!
I hope your family has comfortably settled back into the routine of school-life. I know it can be hard to break out of summer-mode and into school-mode. This week's notes will hopefully aid the transition back into school-mode.
Thank you for stepping up to volunteer! It says a great deal about our community when the vast majority of needed volunteer positions have almost been accounted for. We are still actively looking for:
Spirit Wear Coordinator: We have a website up and running. We just need someone to promote it from time to time and possibly edit the merchandise.
Calling all Room Parents: Our room parent coordinator, Julie Porte-Vega, should have contacted everyone who signed up to be a room parent. If you signed up and have not been contacted please email her, julesterpv@gmail.com . All other volunteers will be contacted within the next week.
Get Your Voice Heard: All Raskob parents and guardians are invited to our first Raskob Parents Association (RPA) meeting on Friday, September 4th, at 8:30 am in the California Room. We will discuss plans for the year, set dates for major activities, discuss fundraising options and reach out to all of those who signed up to volunteer this year. We will try to finish by 9:30 am, but the meeting may run a bit longer as we have a lot to accomplish. We welcome everyone's ideas, and I hope you can attend!
RPA Dues: Please remember to either drop off your dues with Marlen in the Raskob office or mail them. Any amount is appreciated. Dues are the RPA's second largest source of fundraising and we are hoping to have 100% of Raskob families participate.
Lastly, I would like to thank our Co-VPs of Communication, Amy Wright and Becky Stephens, for the wonderful job that they are doing with the Raskob Notes this year. The addition of photos is a wonderful touch.
