👕🧥Rescue Your Gear from Lost & Found👕🧥
PRA has teamed up with Name Bubbles to help students retain their belongings AND support the school. Name Bubbles offers a variety of labels perfect for school-aged children. They make labels for clothing, water bottles, lunch boxes, binders and even shoes! Name Bubbles makes labels perfect for every application, with dishwasher-safe, machine- washable and waterproof options. PLUS, orders placed through the link provided will automatically benefit PRA! Through January 30, 2025, 20% of all orders made through our link will go directly back to our school.

We recommend labeling any item that can be removed. These are the items we typically see: outwear, jackets, sweaters, hoodies, gloves, hats, lunch bags, snow boots and gym shoes, water bottles, etc.

Join us in extinguishing our Lost & Found wasteland and help reunite lost items with their students.

🎉 BIRTHDAYS 🎉
To celebrate birthdays we will be having a monthly lunch on the second Tuesday of each month. Students who celebrated or will celebrate their birthday that month will get to join the teachers for lunch and bring a small stuffed animal or pillow to class.
