Bag2School

Do you need to clean-up your kids closets?
Do you have too many unused bedsheets and towels?

De-clutter you house by donating any fabric material items, including shoes, clothes, curtains, bedsheets, towels... And at the same time help those in need with your generous donations

Place the items in the Bag2School bags sent home (more available at the office), or any other bag.
Drop them off on November 13 and 14; those are the same days as the parent teacher interviews, so bring them with you as you come in for the parent teacher interviews.

Based on the total weight donated, the school will get a percentage back in dollar value.

Thank you Rippleton parents.


Upcoming Halloween Party

On October 31, 2013, RAPT is planning a Halloween party for the students at Rippleton P.S.
The party will be held during school hours, from 1:00 pm till 3:00 pm, at the gym. We would like to thank Sergio (Sofia's Father) for volunteering his DJ services and experience. We would also like to thank all the parents who donated candy, decorations and their time to decorate, supervise or clean-up. And finally, we would like to thank the daycare for being flexible with their time at the gym for that afternoon.


Three Things You Missed From The October 15 RAPT Meeting

On October 15, 2013, the second RAPT meeting was held at the library in Rippleton P.S.

The minutes from that meeting will be posted soon. In the meantime, here are three things you missed:

1. Ms. Adaskin listed a few IT needs for the school such as a second WiFi unit. The total cost of the IT needs was approximated at $9,000. RAPT approved $9,000 to be paid to the school in order to cover the IT list. The money was deducted from the 2013-2014 Direct Donation fundraising campaign.

2. Over the past three years, RAPT has been saving for the Master Plan of the school which includes the play scape and the areas surrounding the school. To date, RAPT has saved $33,000. During the meeting, the money was approved to be used to complete the Master Plan.

3. The Direct Donation Drive for this year has raised $16,154. Thank you to all the parents for their generous donations.
