Redrawing Pygame sprites after they disappear from the screen

I'm writing a very simple program to practice using Pygame and Sprites. I found an image of a raindrop and created a grid of raindrops. I also made the raindrops fall toward the bottom of screen until they disappear. My goal is: when a row of raindrops disappears off the bottom of screen, a new row appears at the top of the screen and begins to fall. I'm stuck on this part, here is my code below, can anyone give me some ideas/sample code about how to implement this? Let me know if you have any questions, thank you so much!!

raindrop_grid.py this is the only file that should run in python, I defined a main function "run_game()"

import pygame
import sys
from settings import Settings
import game_functions as gf
from pygame.sprite import Group



def run_game():

    pygame.init()
    ai_settings = Settings()

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((ai_settings.screen_width, ai_settings.screen_height))
    pygame.display.set_caption(ai_settings.caption)

    raindrops = Group()
    new_raindrops = Group()
    
    gf.create_raindrops(ai_settings, screen, raindrops)



    while True:
        gf.check_events()
        gf.update_raindrops(raindrops)


        gf.update_screen(ai_settings, screen, raindrops)

This is the "raindrop.py" file where I created a class called "Raindrop" based on "Sprite":

import pygame
from pygame.sprite import Sprite



class Raindrop(Sprite):

    def __init__(self, ai_settings, screen):
        super().__init__()

        self.screen = screen
        self.ai_settings = ai_settings


        self.image = pygame.image.load("./images/raindrop.bmp")
        self.image = pygame.transform.scale(self.image, (self.ai_settings.raindrop_width, self.ai_settings.raindrop_height))
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
        self.screen_rect = screen.get_rect()

        # set the raindrop's initial position.
        self.rect.x = self.rect.width 
        self.rect.y = self.rect.height
        
        self.y = float(self.rect.y)
        self.x = float(self.rect.x)


    def blitme(self):
        self.screen.blit(self.image, self.rect)


    def update(self):
        self.y += self.ai_settings.raindrop_speed_factor
        self.rect.y = self.y


    def check_edges(self):
        """ return true if the raindrop hits the bottom of screen."""
        if self.rect.bottom >= self.screen_rect.bottom:
            return True

This is the main game functions file "game_functions.py":

import sys
import pygame
from raindrop import Raindrop



def check_events():
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            sys.exit()
        elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_q:
                sys.exit()


def update_screen(ai_settings, screen, raindrops):
    screen.fill(ai_settings.bg_color)

    raindrops.draw(screen)

    pygame.display.flip()


def get_number_raindrop_x(ai_settings, raindrop_width):
    available_space_x = ai_settings.screen_width - 2 * raindrop_width
    number_raindrop_x = int(available_space_x / (2 * raindrop_width))
    return number_raindrop_x


def get_row_number(ai_settings, raindrop_height):
    available_space_y = ai_settings.screen_height - 2 * raindrop_height
    row_number = int(available_space_y / (2 * raindrop_height))
    return row_number 


def raindrop_position(ai_settings, screen, raindrops, raindrop_number, row_number):
    raindrop = Raindrop(ai_settings, screen)
    raindrop.x = raindrop.rect.width + 2 * raindrop_number * raindrop.rect.width
    raindrop.rect.x = raindrop.x 

    raindrop.y = raindrop.rect.height + 2 * row_number * raindrop.rect.height
    raindrop.rect.y = raindrop.y 
    raindrops.add(raindrop) 


def create_raindrops(ai_settings, screen, raindrops):
    raindrop = Raindrop(ai_settings, screen)
    number_raindrop_x = get_number_raindrop_x(ai_settings, raindrop.rect.width)
    number_rows = get_row_number(ai_settings, raindrop.rect.height)


    for row_number in range(number_rows):
        for raindrop_number in range(number_raindrop_x):
            raindrop_position(ai_settings, screen, raindrops, raindrop_number, row_number)


def update_raindrops(raindrops):
    """ update the positions of all raindrops."""
    raindrops.update()

And this is the settings file "settings.py" where I created a class "Settings" to store the game settings:

import pygame



class Settings():

    def __init__(self):

        self.screen_width = 1200
        self.screen_height = 800
        self.bg_color = (250, 250, 250)
        self.caption = "Raindrop Grid"

        # raindrop settings.
        self.raindrop_width = 80
        self.raindrop_height = 80
        self.raindrop_speed_factor = 1
        self.raindrop_drop_speed = 1
