A Message from the RSA Presidents

On behalf of the Reed School Association (RSA), welcome and welcome back to Reed! Our names are Stacey Hoffman and Barrie Silverman, and we are your RSA Co-Presidents. We've been friends for many years and are so happy and proud to be part of the Reed community together. We each have 2 kids at Reed, Sammy Hoffman and Blake Silverman, are entering 4th grade and, Sydney Hoffman and Beau Silverman, are entering 1st grade. If you are new to Reed, you are about to become part of a community full of panther pride, warmth, and inclusion. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us or any member of the RSA Executive Board. We are all here to help. 

What is RSA?

We are a parent-run organization that supports your child(ren) by funding educational enrichment and curriculum support, putting on community building events and working to ensure an inclusive school community for all families. Every Reed parent is a member of the RSA!

How do I support the RSA?

Each year RSA’s budget invests about $200 per child. Your donation of any amount is greatly appreciated. We ask that donations be given by September 15th. Please make your annual donation here (via Membership Toolkit) or bring a check made out to Reed School Association to the front office. Keep in mind, many companies offer an employee match which is a great way to double your gift, and all donations are tax deductible

Who runs the RSA and how can I get involved?

The RSA is led by parent volunteers who hold executive board positions, volunteer for subcommittee roles, sign up to be room parents, and/or volunteer for individual events as they come up throughout the year!

How can I stay up to date with RSA activity?
