Greetings RES Families!
We can say it doesn't feel like February 74th anymore, Spring is here! Yeah! PSSAs are going very well!! We finished Math PSSA test last week and will have the Science PSSA tests this week for 4th graders only. We love to see everyone cheering up our students by wearing the PSSA colors. Keep it going Reidenbaugh!! Just two more days!
Summer is right around the corner and we have a few camps/clinics for you to consider. Please see the note from Manheim Township Athletics below. As we get closer to the end of the school year we have Field Day and the Appreciation Luncheon coming. Please sign up to help!!
As the weather starts to warm up, the PTO has been planning an outdoor sitting area for our students and staff. The perfect spot is right outside the car riders doors. Work has started! We will keep you updated as we clear the space, take out the grass, put the mulch and the furniture.
