NEXT PTO Meeting on Tuesday, May 14 @ 7pm
Join us, either in-person at the RMS Library or on Zoom,
to learn about all the PTO news and activities.
Here is the schedule for the remaining Monthly PTO Meetings (7pm-8:15pm):
Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Monday, June 3, 2024 (Note: this is a recently changed date)
Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week
May 6-10
Here’s how you can help
Donate gently used books as gifts for the teachers & staff
by Monday May 6th
- Please check your shelves for gently used books: fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, etc (hardcovers are especially nice!) to donate.
- Drop your books, by Monday May 6th, at collection boxes in the RMS entry foyer or in a box at the Norwich Public Library or Etna Public Library.
- The books will be offered to teachers and staff to choose to add to their own libraries!
- There will be a banner set up in RMS for students to write spontaneous words of support while in school.
- We also encourage families to send personal notes into school on that Tuesday to recognize teachers and staff.
- Students can present those notes directly, or they can be placed in a box in the office to be distributed into teacher/staff mailboxes.
Thanks so much for helping us to honor our teachers and staff in these special ways.
If you have a some time next week in the morning or afternoon to help with set-up or clean-up for some of our planned events, please reach out to our fabulous RMS PTO Teacher & Staff Appreciation Committee Chairs, Emily Myers ( Emilypiercemyers@gmail.com) and
Kara Della Croce (kjdellacroce@gmail.com)
