Robert Down Elementary is participating in the Square 1 Art Fundraiser! Your child has created a special piece of artwork that can now be transformed into personalized keepsakes and gifts for family and friends.

🖼️ From magnets and keychains to mugs and more, you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate your child’s creativity while giving back to our school.
❤️ Every order helps raise funds that directly support our students, teachers, and school programs.
🔎 Find your child’s artwork online by the link in our bio.

Thank you for supporting our young artists and the RHD community! 🎨🦦✨

📚✏️ School supply shopping just got easier!

Our teachers worked directly with 1st Day School Supplies to create next year’s supply lists, so when you order, you’re getting exactly what your child’s teacher requested.
✅ No substitutions
✅ No second-guessing
✅ No running from store to store

Participation is completely optional and serves as a fundraiser for the RHD PTA. A portion of every purchase comes back to support our school, and our principal receives donation totals in July to help plan and purchase supplies for the 2026–2027 school year.

If you’re able, please consider donating supplies for your child—and even additional students—to help ensure every classroom is ready for a successful year. ❤️

Before our amazing 5th graders head off to middle school, the RHD PTA wanted to send them off in style! 🦦🎓✨

The PTA designed and provided special graduation keepsakes to celebrate the incredible Class of 2026:
🎓 Graduation caps featuring otter and 2026 charms
🌊 Class of 2026 shirts

These gifts are a small way to recognize all the hard work, growth, friendships, and memories our students have made during their elementary school years. We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and can’t wait to see all they achieve in the future!

Congratulations, Class of 2026—you’ll always be part of the RHD family. ❤️🦦
