Friends of Robert Eagle Staff Middle School PTSA

Here’s the online link for Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.

The Mary Pop­pins pro­duc­tion needs approx­i­mate­ly 25 ener­getic and ded­i­cat­ed tech­ni­cal crew mem­bers to help pre­pare and run the show. Roles include:

• Assis­tance with find­ing and mak­ing sets and props
• Run­ning sound and lights dur­ing the show
• Set changes dur­ing the show
• Man­ag­ing props and cos­tumes dur­ing the show
• Hand­ing out pro­grams, work­ing the bake sale and gen­er­al house man­age­ment

Please sign up HERE by Fri­day, Nov. 1. 

Once sign-ups are com­plete, we will assign roles and be in touch via email. Please know that we will make every effort to assign roles based on per­son­al pref­er­ence, but all jobs are vital and we will fill posi­tions where help is most need­ed. All crew will be required to attend rehearsals and the show in Jan­u­ary. Those dates are:

• Rehearsals after school dur­ing the weeks of Jan­u­ary 13 and Jan­u­ary 20
• Per­for­mances on Jan­u­ary 25, 26, and 29

Most crew will not be need­ed pri­or to those dates. The only excep­tion will be those who want to help in mak­ing sets/props — we may arrange after-school work ses­sions on some Wednes­days in November/December and pos­si­bly a Sat­ur­day in Jan­u­ary — those dates are TBD depend­ing on interest/need and will be com­mu­ni­cat­ed via email.

Please join us at our first PTSA gen­er­al meet­ing of the year on Octo­ber 21 at 7 p.m. in the Com­mons at Eagle Staff. All are wel­come! We will con­duct a lit­tle PTSA busi­ness, intro­duce the board, give an overview of what the PTSA does, and let you know how to become a mem­ber. After this, we’ll open it up to a Q&A with Prin­ci­pal Stow­ell. We hope to see you all there! Ques­tions? Email [email protected].

Pic­ture day is com­ing up on Mon­day, Oct. 14. The time stu­dents will be pho­tographed is TBD.

Fam­i­lies can pre-order por­trait pack­ages. Just include your email address and select your pack­age. Sep­a­rate orders are required for each stu­dent.

Print­ed pre-orders will be shipped direct­ly to fam­i­lies approx­i­mate­ly three weeks after Pic­ture day. Dig­i­tal orders will be sent via email.

Retake day is sched­uled for Mon­day, Novem­ber 18.

We need cleats! Cleats are expen­sive and kids’ feet are grow­ing fast. We’re start­ing up a Cleat Clos­et as part of the Ravens Care Clos­et. We would love to have enough cleats avail­able so that any stu­dent who needs a pair can find one that fits. So, if you have a pair of out­grown gen­tly worn cleats, please con­sid­er donat­ing them to Eagle Staff. If your stu­dent needs a pair, please con­tact Lau­ra Kunen or your child’s coach to see if we have the right size. Cleats can be donat­ed in the main office in the green box labeled “Ravens Care Clos­et.” Thank you!

Pre-orders help us deter­mine how many copies to order this year and also guar­an­tees that your stu­dent will receive a book when they arrive in June.

There will be two oppor­tu­ni­ties to pur­chase a year­book this year.

• Sept. 16-Sept. 27 and
• Dec. 2‑Dec. 13

With a stur­dy hard­cov­er and 80 full-col­or pages, our Ravens year­book is a great way to remem­ber class­mates, sport­ing events, spir­it weeks, assem­blies and more!

The cost of each year­book is $25. There will be a link avail­able on School­Pay to pay by cred­it card, (look at your his­to­ry in School­Pay to con­firm your pay­ment) or you can bring a check or cash into the office dur­ing these time­frames. For a par­tial or full schol­ar­ship, please con­tact your child’s grade-lev­el coun­selor.

Any gen­er­al ques­tions, please con­tact Kathy Sax­on, year­book advi­sor.
