Run for the Ranch donations.  Your children had a great time at the Run for the Ranch.  They ran hard, despite the warm weather.  A pledge/donation sheet was sent home with your child listing the number of laps they ran.   Donations can be made per lap or a flat donation may be made.  Every student who donates a minimum of $10 will have their name entered into a drawing for a Wii U.  For every additional $5 donated after the initial $10 another chance will be entered in the drawing for that child.  All pledges must be received by Wednesday, May 15th to be eligible for the drawing which will take place on May 17th.  The first 150 students to turn in their pledges for $25 or more will receive a t-shirt.  Thank you in advance for your donations.  Every dollar brings us one step closer to a running track for our stallions!

May 16th- PTA Meeting 1 pm. Location to be determined

PTA will be selling T-shirts and sweatshirts every Monday and Friday after school until the end of the school year. The proceeds from the sales will go towards buying Stallion folders to be given to each child at Highland Ranch at the beginning of the next school year. These folders are made of durable plastic and will last them all year long. Please help us raise funds for these folders!

PTA is looking for volunteers!  Please stop by the T-shirt table after school to chat with a member of the PTA to find out how you can help our school next year. We have a few PTA Board positions that are open and many committees that need your help! Stop by and say "Hi!" and find out more!

2013-2014 Continuing Student Registration and New Student Enrollment for 1st -5th Students Begins on May 13th. As most of you know, ALL families are required to complete Continuing Student Registration in order to be “Registered” for the following school year. If you know that your child (ren) will NOT be returning to HRES next year, please email Debbie Acuna at dacuna@powayusd.com and let her know. For your convenience, HRES begins the Continuing Student process during the school year so that you can stop in before, during or after school and complete this quick 1-2 page process before your summer begins.

If you donated to the Fall Fundraiser at $50 or above, remember to create your memory tile for our Foundation Wall next to the office! You can go to Clay 'N Latte on Rancho Carmel Drive anytime before May 19th. Please email Becca Barr becca@highlandrancheducationalfoundation.org with any questions.

Young Writers Camp will take place for one week at Highland Ranch for students who are presently in grades 2-5.  The camp will take place the week of August 12-16th. from 8:30 to 11:30 am. And will be taught by several HRES teachers.  Our goal is to help fill writing notebooks with ideas for back to school writing. There will be an author visit and T-shirts!  All students who have a love for writing or who would love to love writing are welcome!  If interested please download the attachment above and return it to your child’s teacher.  If you have questions please email Mrs. Preve at apreve@powayusd.com
