SUBJECT: November 2022 - Thankful & Grateful

We Have an Attitude of Gratitude

As Thanksgiving approaches, we like to reflect on what we are grateful for. Our Robertson families have completely blown us away with their giving hearts this past month. We are all truly fortunate to be a part of this community and believe our children feel the impact and will grow up to change the world because of it. We are so very thankful for the staff, families, and sponsors and appreciate the time everyone puts into making this a year to remember.

We stuffed our newsletter with all the fun we've had and upcoming events to look forward to. It just doesn't get any butter than this. As we move into the holiday season please eat, drink, and cranberry.  Let's give them pumpkin to talk about!  Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

This Month in Pictures
Robertson Run - We DID IT! Big Time.

We are beyond thrilled and overwhelmed with gratitude for the generous support of our Robertson Run fundraiser. With the amazing success of the Run fundraiser last year, we had hopes of achieving our original goal of $30,000, but never predicted that we would exceed it by over $10,000!  A big THANK YOU for contributing to its success!

By reaching the $30,000 mark, the Spring Social will be free to attend this year AND we will have inflatables during the Field Day activities!  We are also adding an EXTRA student program this year because we exceeded the $35,000 goal.

In the meantime, let’s celebrate this incredible achievement!  Dates have been set to honor the prize levels with experiences (see image below for the schedule). Most experiences are planned to be fulfilled prior to Winter Break. 

Again, we truly appreciate and thank you for all your efforts in helping us reach our goals!

Veterans Day Breakfast & Assembly

Robertson Staff, students, families, and PTA thanked and honored ALL who have served in the US Armed Forces with a breakfast reception and assembly.  Thank you to the veterans that could join us in person, the Girl and Boy Scouts, and the Lone Star Drum Line & trumpet players.

Our students also paid tribute to family members who are veterans with a picture and note about their hero on the Wall of Honor.

Frisco Community Parade - Heroes: Made to Shine!

Robertson Staff and PTA braved the freezing cold temps and teamed up to participate in this year's annual parade which honored Veterans and showcased school and community spirit.  This year's theme was - Heroes: MadetoShine!

Our Robertson Float won "Best Theme Related Award"!  Check out the super amazing float and all of the super heroes that joined the fun.

Reflections: Show Your Voice!

The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.  

Many Robertson students showcased their creative works of art.  We recruited some experts to judge the entries and will have results soon.  Stay tuned!

Spirit Nights are the Best Nights!

Isn't it nice when giving back to the school can be as easy as grabbing a bite to eat!?  

We appreciate all the families that joined us for the Spirit Night at Hat Creek on November 2nd.  Thank you!

Be on the lookout for information on the next spirit night!

Membership & Volunteering
It's Never Too Late

Students can be members, too!  We believe it is important to allow our students to have an understanding of what it means to be involved in an organization within our community.   Student memberships are discounted at $5 per year. 

So far, student members have voted on activities at the B2SB and the class with most members received a popcorn party.

More membership incentives to come, stay tuned!
