Volunteers Needed for Teacher Appreciation Luncheon May 3

Teacher Appreciation Week at RTE is May 1-5!

As usual, the highlight of our Teacher Appreciation Week is the PTO-sponsored catered luncheon on Wednesday, May 3. But our teachers can't enjoy their luncheon without the help of many volunteers! 

Volunteers commit to a one-hour bloc sometime between 10:40-1:00 depending on the grade level. During this time, volunteers will escort a class to lunch and recess so that teachers can enjoy their luncheon. 

We currently have 9 Homerooms without a volunteer: 

Ms. Shae-Sutton

Ms. Novack

Ms. Parks

Ms. Cleckley

Ms. Kendall

Ms. Herrera

Ms. High

Ms. Ray

Ms. Hunter

Please sign up for a specific class at http://signup.com/go/w7D3Uq. If your child's class already has a volunteer, please consider signing up for another class. 

Many thanks for your assistance on May 3 to show our beloved RTE teachers our appreciation!
