Kindergarten Math Olympics will start the week of January 23. This ten-week program provides math enrichment, challenge, and supports critical thinking skills. The contests are emailed out to parents on weeks that have five full school days (no vacations or holiday weeks). Parents will print out the papers, students complete them, and return them to school for our parent volunteers to correct. Students who complete a majority of the worksheets will earn a prize at the end of the school year. Registration and more information can be found here. 

 **Seeking a Birthday Book Club PTO Chair**: The PTO and PRS Librarian, Mrs. Dunphy, are looking for a parent volunteer to help chair and run the PRS birthday book club program.  We are really excited to bring back this program for our students this year but we need parent help getting this program up and running.  If you are interested or would like more information about what is involved in chairing the birthday book club, please email Kelly Jones at ktruss78@gmail.com. Thank you!
