It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Dear RWA Families,
We can’t believe we are already nearing the end of the year! With the start of December, comes a lot of excitement and anticipation throughout our school. We are looking forward to a jolly month ahead!
We want to give a huge thank you to those families that donated to our coat drive. It was a huge success and PIN ministry was so thankful for our donations!
Weather
With colder days ahead, we will still aim to get our students outdoors at least once a day to get some fresh air to strengthen the immune system. Please make sure your child comes to school with layers, gloves and a hat! If you have not already done so, please send in an extra pair of labeled gloves (mittens for the little ones) and a hat to keep at school.
2023-2024 School Year
Believe it or not, the time to start thinking about the 2023-2024 school year is approaching! We will be sending out re-enrollment forms earlier this year due to an increase in tours and interest in the upcoming school year. Re-enrollment forms have been sent home in your child’s folder. Those of you who plan on returning to our school next year should plan to register as soon as possible to ensure preferred placement. ***Please note that payment is not due until February 1st, however, we do ask that you send the re-enrollment form back as soon as possible.
Giving Back to our community through Connect With A Wish
This will be our fourth year working with Connect With a Wish! Connect with a wish works to connect the wishes and needs of children in Virginia Beach foster care with the generosity of our community. These children are missing their families while trying to overcome adversity on all levels. Connect With a Wish gives our community an avenue to connect with these Hampton Roads children in foster care on a level where we can make a difference in their lives.
We will be collecting donations for Connect With a Wish up until December 15th. Donation suggestions for children ages Newborn-10 years old can be found below:
New Books
Stockings
Stocking Stuffers
