Our last hoorah before summer! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to create such a fun splash day for our kiddos!

If you love school spirit, t-shirts and fun ideas to help our students and staff (and parents) show our Rice Elementary School - Tyler ISD Pride, this could be a good fit for you! The Rice Elementary PTA Board is supportive, and we'd love to add another great volunteer to the team.

Thank you so much to all our Rice families and volunteers who supported our school, teachers, and students through the PTA this year! Our PTA is award-winning - because of you! Happy summer...we've almost made it!

Last AND definitely not the least...Taylor, Courtney, and Amy C are easily some of the best volunteers I (Eloise) have ever served with. All three are unbelievably dedicated to serve our school community well. They are diligent, thoughtful, kind, selfless, helpful hard workers and leaders! They are exactly who you would want in your corner or on your team. I couldn't have asked for a better executive team.

Taylor, you are such a blessing. So kind and willing to support anyone who needs extra help. You show up and serve with a smile! Your family is easily one of the reasons why Rice is as awesome as it is. I know that Rice will be in great hands with you as President next year! You've been a wonderful Vice President the past 2 years and I'm excited to see how you lead our board next year!

Courtney, you have such a heart for these kids and our teachers. You love others so well. You are one of the hardest working & generous women I've ever met. And you're a hoot to boot! I've really enjoyed working alongside you this year. I'm so glad your family will be here at least one more year because the Melsons have been such a blessing at Rice! You've served well as secretary the past 2 years and we are glad you'll be leading 5th grade activities next year!

Amy C, there are a LOT of reasons why you were voted volunteer of the year. Serving as our treasurer for another two year stint is such a gift. No matter the role you're in, you do it with such excellence. So many times, I've been so incredibly grateful for people like you that can do the job as treasurer and that you do it so well. You are a hard working, dependable woman of integrity and have such a gift for serving so selflessly. You are a big important part of the backbone of our PTA and I know everyone is grateful to have your family here for a few more years. We love serving with the Cagles so much!

For anyone who doesn't love back to school shopping for school supplies, you can thank Audrey for making it as easy as possible for you this coming year! She's been working hard to find out what each grade would like in their own school supply pack. If you want to take advantage of this service, be sure to check out the sale on our website before it ends! Thank you Audrey for coordinating this in all of your spare time (which is not much these days!).

Shayla did an awesome job tackling Reflections this year. She gave away the best prizes to our winners too! Very thoughtful and intentional. She and our awesome art teacher, Ms. Williams, did a great job inspiring our students to be creative in showing how "I Belong."

Kim may look like a familiar face to many of you and that's because she used to teach 4th grade math here! Even though she moved up to teach middle school math this year, she still wanted to be part of our PTA since her two kiddos are still here. Thank you for trying to get sponsors to help fund all we do here at Rice. She's also quick to donate items for our woot woot wagon and teacher appreciation events. She personally knows how important it is to love on our teachers!

🚨🍕 Rice PTA Marcos Pizza fundraiser was a success!
Thank you Rice Rangers for helping us raise over 900$ in our last restaurant night of the year!
Congratulations to Ms Frazier’s class for winning the Pizza Party!
