National Walk to School Day

Wednesday, October 12th at 7:15am

Reed Owls can gather at TWO locations and then walk to school together.

Meeting locations:

West: Reed Park (purple playground)
East: Covered tables at the tennis courts at the corner of Rivercrest Blvd and Allen Heights.

*** We are in need of a few volunteers to help with goodies that morning. If you are available, please contact Morgan Sedlacek at healthylifestyles@reedpta.org.

Picture Day is this Thursday

Picture day is often a favorite volunteer opportunity! Come help straighten collars and make kids smile! Please sign up to help here.

Spoil our staff on October 13th with a Baked Potato Bar & Halloween desserts. You can help by dropping off items, or by coming in person to help set up/clean up.

Please click here to see what is needed most.

Every student who joins the Reed PTA before October 13th will get the opportunity to pie a Reed faculty member!

The Joyful Mrs. Jones & Captivating Mrs. Capps are the first to volunteer!

Pies will be flying at the Spirit Rally on October 14th. Step right up and don’t miss out on this messy fun!

Join the PTA with a $10 student membership at JoinPTA.org.

For any questions contact Whitney Fraier, VP of Membership, at membership@reedpta.org.

Help us collect candy and prizes to give away at Trunk or Treat! Feed Cletus all week in front of the library. Send in individually wrapped candy and small (non-food) prizes. All donations are greatly appreciated!
