Super Sitters Registration Open for 5th Graders
Who: Horace Mann 5th Grade Students
When: Friday, March 11, 9 am - 2 pm
Where: Art & Science Room
Fee: $43 per student (Registration Deadline: March 6)
The Super Sitters program is designed to train young people in basic babysitting and home alone skills. Students completing this course will be better prepared to provide a safer and more positive infant/child care experience. Taught by a hospital-qualified instructor (Cindy Tucker), this class includes parent expectations, basic first aid, home and fire safety, Heimlich maneuver, telephone tips, toys and activities and infant care. Participants receive a Babysitting 101 handbook and certification card upon completion of the class.
Be a parent volunteer for the class and your child will have a FREE tuition! We only need one parent volunteer. There is no experience necessary, you will just be taking attendance, and helping the teacher as needed. As a parent volunteer you will also need to be a current PTSA member (you can join on the PTSA website at any time) and a current approved volunteer with the LWSD (applications are available on the LWSD website). The volunteer doesn't need to be the parent, but can also be an adult relative, neighbor, or friend, as long as they are a PTSA member and an approved district volunteer.

Knights of the Multiplication Table
Hear ye, Hear ye! Announcing the Knights of the Multiplication Table! It's time for all 3rd grade students to start working hard to learn their multiplication facts so they can join the Royal Order of the Knights of the Multiplication Table! Our royal Mrs. Spaulding knights all students who have completed their multiplication facts through 10. These knighting ceremonies are held once a month starting in February and continue through June. Happy Multiplying!!
The parents of those being knighted are invited to attend. Teachers will notify the student's parent or guardian. The first ceremony is Thursday, February 25 at 2:20 pm in the Commons.

Redmond Middle School PTSA is
Hiring the Future!
Put your skills to work in 2016-2017
Do you have a 5th grader entering RMS next year? Welcome to the Grizzly team!
RMS PTSA provides grants and school support for Redmond Middle School. This year alone we've purchased nearly $10,000 in curriculum materials, books and athletic supplies for the school, as well as providing volunteer support for back to school and the ASB social events.
Many of our board is retiring and without a solid PTSA in 2016-2017, our school may miss out on these much needed programs next year! Being on the board is uplifting and fun and at the middle school level is only a 2-10 hour a month commitment, depending on the role. Volunteering for PTSA looks great on a resume, doesn't require citizenship or a work visa and studies show that when parents are involved in educational success, their kids do better in school!
To find out more, please contact nomcomm@rmsptsa.org or join us at our upcoming Board Meeting on February 16, 6 pm. Learn about all the cool things we're doing for RMS kids!
