SCHOOL NEWS:  We're excited to welcome the first two cohorts of students back to the building this coming week!

PTA NEWS: WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Our RVES teachers are dedicated to ensuring that virtual learning is a success for all of our kids.  They have spent their own money to buy resources to enhance their students’ learning and build community.  The PTA supports our teachers by providing teacher grants to assist them in purchasing these items.

The PTA has already purchased…           

  • Read-aloud books and a white board wall for Ms. Francis’ kindergarten class
  • Chapter books for Ms. McCartney’s 6th grade class
  • Math tools, books, and puppet kits for Ms. Hochstetler’s kindergarten class

BUT we need YOUR help!  The RVES PTA has a difficult job this year:  Continue to raise money to support our school community without holding our largest fundraising events.

By becoming a PTA member, your $15.00 will go directly to teachers and resources that support our Rolling Valley students.  Please click the link to join.

RVES SPIRIT EVENTS:

Throughout the school year, the PTA plans fundraisers at local restaurants at which a % of proceeds is donated to Rolling Valley.  It's convenient (you can eat in OR get takeout) and helps the school - so it just makes "cents" to participate! 

Upcoming events:  

Panera

Friday, November 13; 4-8pm

6230 W. Rolling Road, West Springfield

Tantalizing sandwiches...delectable soups...scrumptious salads AND amazing baked goods? Panera has it all! Show the attached flyer and Rolling Valley will receive a portion of the proceeds.  If you'd like to order online, use the code PRFUND at checkout.  

Ledo Pizza
