Please plan on attending the RCE "Back to School" night on September 22nd.

From 5:00-6:00 PM, all PK, K, 1st, and 2nd parents will meet in their child's classroom. there will be a break from 6:00-6:30 to allow for transition with parking. during this break, PTA will have spirit items and Fall Festival tickets and items for sale in the cafeteria.

From 6:30-7:30 PM, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade parents will visit teachers in classrooms. During these times, teachers will be covering information on curriculum, grading, routines, and expectations.

Because of the importance of the information that will be shared, it is best if you can attend this evening without your child. We hope all parents will be able to attend this event into order to set the stage for a successful year.

LEAVES by:Allie Rincon


I walked on the playground.
CRUNCH, CRUNCH went the fresh new,crisp fall
leaves that fell beneath my feet.
I took in a breath of the cool autumn
air."Sounds like the end of Summer " I
thought to myself. And it was, because
it was the start of another fabulous year.
How did I know?

Because I am at Rummel Creek Elementary!

My Favorite Place To Go
My favorite place to go is a place that I can go anytime. It’s the moon, it’s the dessert, it’s a rainforest, and it’s the bottom of the ocean. It’s my imagination. All I have to do is sit down and think. First I’m on a pirate ship. I’m a young maiden surrounded by dirty pirates. Next thing I know I’m on some strange planet and have just discovered aliens. They take me to their mother ship and I’m on the red carpet! People are
asking for my autograph and snapping my pictures. I could be in school and close my eyes and be on a rollercoaster. I could be in my room and then be on a jungle safari. The best time to be in this special place is at night, when your mind takes over and brings you anywhere it wants to. Sometimes it’s fun and sometimes it’s scary sometimes it’s exciting and sometimes it’s boring. My favorite place in the world is my imagination, because I can be wherever I want to be at anytime.
