Welcome RLS families,<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s great to see our old friends again and to welcome new friends to our RLS family!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We hope this information will assist you in becoming familiar and comfortable with the Stevenson volunteer group.\u00a0 If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at help@rlsfundraising.org<\/a><\/strong> or directly contact any of our RLS Fundraising Group members<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Robert Louis Stevenson Elementary School of the Arts<\/a><\/strong> is a School of Choice that provides a quality education while fostering a dynamic and intellectually charged learning environment for students in Brevard County. By combining specialized curriculum in the arts with core traditional teaching of the academic subjects in reading, mathematics, writing, and science, Stevenson offers a safe and nurturing environment for students in kindergarten though sixth grade.\u00a0 We are proud of our active and talented families whose generosity enables Stevenson students to excel in technology, research and development, and innovation – truly the skills necessary for global competition while connecting our children to a successful future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our RLS family has volunteers of all ages from grandparents to siblings, who work together to create family-oriented events to bring our community together and fund-raise for special projects to enhance the learning environment of our school. We invite you to collaborate with us on one or more of our projects during the school year. Your generosity of time and resources will benefit so many, because it is really all about changing the lives of others \u2013 and in our case – our students.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n How can you get involved?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The RLS Fundraising Group<\/em><\/strong> is our 501(c)(3) parent organization whose purpose is to support the efforts of the school leadership, faculty, and staff via fundraising efforts and volunteerism. The School Advisory<\/em><\/strong> Committee (SAC)<\/em><\/strong> is comprised of a group of teachers, parents, administration, community members, and office personnel that come together nearly every month during the academic year to discuss the direction the school is heading in for the current school year. SAC meetings take place on the THIRD TUESDAY<\/strong> of each month; all families are invited and encouraged to attend. SAC members work very hard to support the school’s academic initiatives as well as the many enrichment type activities that are offered. For more information on SAC, please see the school website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our goals as a parent group include:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The volunteer group communicates in the following ways:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What makes our volunteer program so successful is your contribution of 20-hour volunteer hours (or more!). Each family is welcome to volunteer in the school, complete take-home work, and by attending meetings at school or within the district. Parent volunteers are encouraged to become school leaders both within and beyond our school. Some of our activities where volunteers are requested include: Career Day, Field Day, Jog-a-thon, Penguin Palooza, Car Loop, Performance Costume Design, Performance Assistance, Picture Day, Scholastic Book Fair, Science Fair, Teacher Appreciation Week, etc<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
