DINE IN or CARRY OUT
We are off to an excellent start this school year! It
is so exciting to see so many parents interested and
involved in knowing what is going on with our
children’s education! We had a great turnout at
Back to School Night! Our energy and excitement is
spreading … at the Redland Fall Festival, not only
did we host lots of Redland children and parents but
we also had many Redland friends and supporters
from the area communities. Let’s continue to BUILD
on this momentum for the rest of the year.
A little more about BUILDING…as you may have
noticed, the PTA theme this year is about building..
building success, building the future, building an
environment where all our children have the
opportunity to learn and grow. We have a great
school with dedicated staff and energetic students,
but we need your help!
 Join the PTA
 Volunteer at school event or donate needed
materials for an event
 Donate to the Redland 1-2-3 Fundraiser
THANK YOU to all who have made a donation. The
funds we are raising will directly benefit your
student. The PTA supplied each student with their
first agenda book. The PTA funds the honor role
celebrations, student awards and incentives and 6th
grade Outdoor Ed special guest entertainment. We
support the Redland Respect program, curriculum
support requests from the staff, and so much more.
Not sure how much to give – think about how much
you would spend on wrapping paper or candles and
write a check for that amount. Once you write your
check send it into the main office marked PTA
fundraiser.
