The PTA works hard to strengthen the RLMS community by supporting teachers, staff, programs, students and parents/guardians.

What exactly does the RLMS PTA do? I'm so glad you asked!

In August, we welcome RLMS faculty & staff with gourmet lunch and homemade desserts on their first day of school.
In September, we start The Bulldog Buzz, which is a casual monthly Q&A with our principal, dean and key administrators. Whether down at Penfield Beach or on our own beach chairs in the sunny auditorium lobby, this safe space has become a popular event and a model for other schools in the district. Be sure to bring your own coffee and questions and join us sometime!
In October, we have our (hopefully) only fundraiser, the Halloween Walkathon
In December, we shower the RLMS faculty & staff with 5 days of holiday cheer & appreciation.
In January, we run our annual teacher grants program. Last year teacher's received over $16,000 in supplemental funding requests from across the building.
- Resourced grants included 12 sets VR goggles for use throughout various subjects, a cool new screen that can be used to project sets onto for the drama club and music department, guest speakers to teach kids about world travels though story telling and games, publications for different languages and classes, Supplies for projects like a mural inspired by positive affirmations and cool new gadgets for the sewing department, plaques to commemorate students who contributed to the music program and a wonderful guest artist who taught the students about kindness while painting a portrait live.
In February cheer on the Fairfield University men's and women's basketball teams during our RLMS Game Nights
Over the course of the year we hold PTA meetings with different guest speakers, such as school counselors, Health teachers, and the Librarian, to give some insight into student life at RLMS and learn what we as parents and guardians can do to enrich our students' experience.
In May we once again recognized our incredible faculty and staff with Appreciation Week.
And finally, we provided resources for both the 8^th grade dance and 8^th grade graduation ceremonies.
All of this is made possible with your generosity & support!
