Ravens Care Closet
The PTSA maintains an onsite Robert Eagle Staff Care Closet where students and families in need of assistance can pick up school supplies, hygiene items and household necessities. Thank you to everyone who contributed school supplies this fall!
The Care Closet is currently very low on hygeine and household items- particularly laundry detergent and black hair products.
If you are able to contribute, you can deliver items to the office, or you can shop our Amazon Wish List, and have items delivered directly to the volunteer Care Closet coordinator.

Host an Exchange Student
Spring Semester
One international exchange high school student is still looking for a host home in Seattle for the Spring semester.
Leticia, 17 years old from Brazil, will arrive at the end of January and spend her one semester in Seattle.
Here is a note from Leticia:
"I´m a little shy but I have no problems getting to know and communicate with new people. People around me say a lot of good things about me and how polite, patient, smart and hardworking I am. I´m very active and I love to do activities like gymnastics, ballet and swim. In my free time I like to read books of many different genres but my favorite is romance and fantasy. I want to graduate in medicine it has always been my dream to be a cardiac surgeon. I have two younger brothers and I love having company and I love animals especially dogs."
Anyone interested can contact Shawna Busey at shawnabusey@gmail.com or 253-273-8453.
