Opportunities to serve and join in.

What a busy week it was last week. I found myself wanting to blog but never found the time. If you have not signed up for E-news please make sure you visit RRISD's website and sign up. I want to share with you ways you can serve our school and community as well as provide you with some information about good organizations you can join.

Ways to serve:
1. Special Olympics has a need for volunteers for upcoming events.  Contact Katie Bivens at 428-7632 if you are interested in helping. These events are well organized and wonderful to be a part of. 

2. I know it is not cold yet but I did enjoy those few days last week when it was 57 degrees in the morning. What a great reminder they were that winter is on the way.  Coats for Kids is having a coat distribution at the Dell Diamond on November 5, from 8 to 1. You need to preregister if you plan on helping with this event. Pre-registration is between October 20 and November 4 at the serving center (1099 East Main Street – 10 to 4 M-F and 9-12 Sat). Call Cynthia Flores at 244-2431 for more information.

3. The PTA at CeVMS is having a BACKPACK and BINDER drive for the victims of the Bastrop fires. Please bring any and all backpacks and or binders to the office at CeVMS between today and Friday September 16. If you have questions you can call the front office at 428-2302.

Join in:

1. The Girl Scouts are looking for young ladies interested in growing and working together as a team to serve the community. If you would like to join you can call Mrs. Stewart at 490-2346.

2. CeVMS is having a professional development day on Oct. 10. We are going to have several breakout sessions covering various topics such as school safety, quality of instruction, STAAR testing, and several others topics.  Please come join us and attend one or more of the breakout sessions.  If you would like to attend please call Mrs. Guillory at 428-2302 and she can answer any questions you have and share the schedule with you.  I look forward to seeing you.

3.  Join the PTA.  They do a lot of spectacular things for our school and the community.  Call Carolyn Lawrence at 245-8556 if you would like to become a member.
