Come play with the live animals from Creature Teacher Animal Encounters. You can do activities from Sci-Tech Discovery Center and I-Code Plano. There will be science giveaways, crafts, games and more. Put March 22nd on your calendar and plan to join us in the gym and cafeteria at Reed.

About one in every ten Reed Owls doesn’t have enough to eat at home. Our Care Coordinator assists by sending home groceries from donors, but they often don’t have enough things young kids can make for themselves or siblings. PTA has created an Amazon Wishlist that ships straight to the school for our Care Coordinator to discretely deliver to our families in need. If you are able to help, this is a wonderful way to make an impact from wherever you are sitting right now. Click on the link below and help fill up a Reed Owl’s tummy this week.
