Hi Eagles!
 
My name is Elizabeth Haladay, the 2023-2024 Rivers Edge Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) President. On behalf of the PTA Executive Board, welcome to the new school year at Rivers Edge Elementary School! We are so excited to be serving you, your children, and our teachers and staff.  We encourage you to join, connect, and engage, our community this year. Please bookmark our website and check it often as we regularly update it. Like our Rivers Edge Elementary PTA Facebook page to engage in our community and stay informed. 
 
The 2023-2024 school year will be exciting for our children as we increase our in-person community events and programs.  This is a great opportunity for us to come together as a community.
 
I invite you to join our PTA. Membership is $5 per year for each adult, or $10 per family, and needs to be renewed each year. Please visit www.reespta.org to Sign Up Today! Your membership will give you access to the online directory which will allow you to connect with other families throughout the year, give you voting rights on PTA items, and keep you informed of upcoming PTA events and programs. PTA's mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
 
The Eagle Fund, a direct donation, has helped provide our students and teachers with additional resources, funding, and fun.  The fund allows us to build and strengthen the quality of programs and education your children enjoy each year at Rivers Edge Elementary School. Donations to the Eagle Fund allow us to offer programs and events such as Reflections, a cultural arts program for all students, Magic Mailbox, a creative writing program for all students, Donuts With A Grown-up, a fun donut social with your child before school, and many more opportunities.
 
We will continue to partner with REES in making sure Eagle Fund donations are put to the most effective and impactful use. This year we purchased blue communication folders for all students, purchased agendas for all 2nd through 5th grade students (families normally pay a $5 fee per agenda), and paid to landscape the beautiful garden in back of the school.  Together, we can make a difference and show our support for our students, teachers, and staff.
 
Can other family members donate to the Eagle Fund?
Yes! We welcome extended family members to support our school if they would like to assist.
 
Employer Matching Gifts make your donation go farther.
Many employers participate in a matching gifts program. After you make your donation to the REES PTA, be sure to request company matching from your employer and follow the necessary steps to ensure that your company’s matching gift is submitted to the REES PTA.
 
Do you own a business and want to become a Community Sponsor?
We have many community sponsor levels. If you’re interested in becoming a community sponsor, click here for more information.
 
Please join us in by becoming a PTA member to strengthen our community involvement and partnership with REES for our students. They are our future and why we have our PTA. If you have any questions along the way, please e-mail me at president@reespta.org or reach out to any of our wonderful Board Members!
 
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Haladay and the Rivers Edge Elementary School PTA Executive Board
