News from the Raleigh Park PTO
This week your student will be bringing home a JAT fundraising envelope, and there’s lots of details we wanted to break it all down here!
On May 13th we’re going to have a school wide Bike Rodeo hosted by Washco Bikes/Reborn Bikes/FB4K.
It’s a fun way for kids to learn/practice bike handling skills and basic safety info. Kids will run through some drills and obstacle courses in the RPES parking lot. It will include learning about the ABC Quickcheck, helmet fitting, and we will have enough loaner bikes for everyone to participate.
In addition to all the volunteer organizers putting on the Bike rode we’re looking for volunteers to help with setup and support during 75 minute shifts with the students.
When : Sunday, April 21, 1:00-4:00pm
What : Seed starting, native plant and pollinator info, work party in the RP sequoia grove
Where : The grove of trees near the swing set at Raleigh Park.
We will be working with the Treekeepers of Washington County to put in a bark chip pathway through the sequoia grove at RP.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up through Better Impact already. Volunteer roles are quickly filling up, so please look ASAP! Each volunteer gets a JAT t-shirt. Sizes are first come, first served.
Business sponsor dollars provide important funding for our programs including field trips, the school play, food security, and much more. Can your business or employer sponsor us?

Our Fall Fundraiser was a huge success!
Thank you to the Giving Tuesday donors who gave so generously to our PTO! And thank you to all the parents who attended the Parent Party and donated by signing up for family hosted parties and events! We loved getting to know you and could feel the joy of being able to come together again.
Best of all, we are only $1,376 shy of our $25,000 goal!
We have a few spots left for the events and would like to offer them to those of you who couldn't attend the party last Thursday. We also have a new auction item — 3 nights in Rockaway Beach in a beach front 2 bed / 2 bath home!
Again, thank you all so much for your support through our Fall Fundraising campaign.
Our Fall Fundraiser is here! Make your best (tax-deductible) end of year donation today to help every students at Raleigh Park.
