Safe streets success in one photo: crosswalks installed by @CityofMtRainier, a crossing guard funded by @PGCCouncilMedia and hired and trained by @PGPDNews, school leadership that supports walkability, and events like @walkrollschool to raise awareness and make it all possible.

#PGCPSProud to celebrate National Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day. Special thanks to Mr. Brathwaite for organizing a walking group, Principal Price for joining us, and to all the families who participated. Not even some rain could stop our Eagles from walking, biking & rolling!

After 6 years, MRES PTO will look a bit different next year. Encouraging all PGCPS parents: Get involved in your school's PTO/PTA. Volunteer as much as you can. Take on projects. Our kids will always be worth it - & @PGCPS is the best school system in MD. #ForeverPGCPSProud

#PGCPSProud to celebrate Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day at MRES. Our hearts are full from a morning of students walking to honor Ruby, special guests reading to each classroom about Ruby's story, and bringing community together. Plus some amazing posters proudly decorating MRES.

At Mount Rainier Elementary, we know honoring heroes like Ruby Bridges - and teaching future generations about her courageous story - is more important than ever. Ruby’s resilience helped open doors for so many who followed in her footsteps & she continues to inspire us today.

And congrats to Mr. Brathwaite for being the "winner" of our Community Carnival dunk tank nomination vote. But the BIGGEST winner was the students of MRES with nearly $1,000 raised at our Election Day Bake Sale! Thank you to everyone who helped to support MRES yesterday.
