The library could use your help reshelving books. It could be at any time that is convenient to your schedule. And you can listen to music or podcasts while doing it!

Here’s a super easy way to volunteer. Save your toilet paper and paper towel tubes and drop them off outside of the art room. Ms.Jill and the kids will turn them into art!

Such a beautiful end to the Back-To-School Community Picnic! Thank you Jocelyn for all the work to plan the event! Thank you to Amanda, Kirk, Kathryn, Sasha, Michelle, Evi, Jeanne, Allison, Lèné, Andra, Jenn, Stephanie, Judson, playground committee, and chess club for volunteering to make it a fun event for the community!

Still looking for two volunteers next Friday during picture day. And this photo (posted by our Comm Chair Extraordinaire) is too good to not repost. Shift: 8:30-12pm. Tasks: Escorting students down the hall to help process run smoothly. DM here if interested.

FRIDAY, SEPT 13 . . . Contact volunteer@riekepta.org if you can help. You will be escorting students down the hall to the photo bus to help the process run smoothly.

Huge thanks to all the volunteers that helped with the plant sale in the spring. Apparently all you do is stick the things in the ground, add water, and now vegetables have magically appeared. If you have a knack for gardening, we need your skills! Email volunteer@ riekepta.org for more details.

Welcome Kinder families!!! We loved meeting you at coffee yesterday. Thanks to Jocelyn, Amanda, and Jessica for planning and executing the event!

This PTA-sponsored clothing center provides warm winter coats, shoes, new socks and underwear, jeans, and much more for PPS kids and families who otherwise cannot easily afford clothing. Currently, the Center is serving 35-50 PPS (one day there were 90!) students daily.

Each Monday and Thursday morning the clothing center lobby fills with families and groups of students waiting their turn to go through the racks and pick out items for themselves. We are looking for 5-6 people who can volunteer for 2 hours as Personal Shoppers and clothing sorters to help these families and children get all the assistance they need while shopping for their clothing. This is an extremely rewarding and fulfilling experience for our volunteers and one that will help enhance local children’s lives.

Please contact Rieke PTA at volunteer@riekepta.org, if you are interested in volunteering with other Rieke parents on Thursday October 31st between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm.

Even if you can only come for one hour, your help will be appreciated!

Kinder families, join us next Tuesday!
1st-5th parents, stick around and meet the new families!

Thank you #CommunityCareDay volunteers!!!
