Reagan Elementary School Newsletter - November 2015

Band March-A-Thon


On Wednesday, October 28, the 5th and 6th grade band members from Reagan participated in the annual Band March-A-Thon.  183, 5th and 6th grade band members from Reagan marched along with the Rafer Johnson Jr. High band, marching from Rafer Johnson to Reagan.  The bands, under the direction of Mrs. Kimbi Sigle and Mr. Jason Awbrey, stopped to perform at various locations, ending with a lunchtime performance at Reagan.  The students sounded great and they all had a lot of fun.  We would like to thank all who donated their time and/or financially, to this important fundraiser.  “Let’s Go Band.”



Fill the Bus/KCAPS Christmas With Dignity


We would like to thank all who contributed to Reagan’s Fill the Bus event for Fire Fighters.  It was a great success!  Mrs. Zapata’s 5th grade class helped facilitate the event.

Beginning Tuesday, November 3, and running until Friday, December 4, we will be collecting toys for KCAPS Christmas With Dignity event.  This is an important event for the families of Kingsburg who may not be able to purchase gifts for loved ones during the holiday season.  The donated toys are sold at a reduced price to pre-screened families who qualify.  Last year, this event provided approximately 500 gifts to be purchased by families from the Kingsburg area.  Please consider donating an unwrapped gift to this worthy cause.  A red box has been placed in each classroom at Reagan where gifts can be stored.  Suggested gifts include: sports equipment, toy trucks, board games, baby dolls, Barbies, Legos, action figures, and glove/hat/scarf sets.
