June 2009 PTA Newsletter
It is difficult to believe the school year is over! The PTA board would like to take the opportunity to thank all the volunteers who worked to make the year the great success that it was. No matter how big or small your contribution, it made a difference! We would also like to thank the staff and administration at both schools for their ready assistance and unfailing support. We feel extremely fortunate to be able to work with such a great group of caring parents and educators!

The last meeting of the year was held on Monday, June 15th and was quite productive. The PTA agreed to fund t-shirts for 7th grade students who participated in Rachel's Challenge at a cost of $170.00, and also to purchase Rachel's Challenge Chain Reaction journals for the incoming 7th grade students at a cost of $425.00.

Also discussed was the Summer Reading Program at Rye Elementary School. To entice more students to read this summer, the PTA will fund a raffle for all participants to be held at the start of the school year. One lucky winner per grade level will take home a game and there will be a grand prize of tickets to the Seacoast Rep! Packets were sent home this week with a chart to track your child's reading as well as some great book recommendations. You can also visit peggysharp.com and readkiddoread.com for more suggested reading lists. Thanks to Susan Detwiler and Kathie Kennedy, RES reading specialists!

We are still in need of volunteer coordinators for the upcoming school year. If you would like to help with the fall gift wrap fundraiser, After School Enrichment program, Spaghetti Dinner planning or any of our other great events, please contact us at mmswen@myfairpoint.net or visit our website at ryepta.org to learn more.

THANK YOU AGAIN, HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER
