PTSA Seeking Leadership Volunteers

RMS PTSA

We're getting ready for the 2016-2017 school year and are looking for a couple of higher profile volunteers.

Do you like art? Or does your student enjoy the arts? The Reflections Arts Competition is a turn-key program through the National PTA that requires a chairperson. This valuable person would be responsible for running our portion of the contest from promotion through moving winning entries up to the council level. Several people on the current board have run the event before and are available to support you.

The second board position is that of Membership chair. The PTSA Membership person should be able to pick up mail from the school on a weekly basis in September and October. They are responsible for ensuring that the paper membership forms are entered into the database and payment given to the Treasurer.

Your PTSA membership covers your training for running the reflections program and/or serving as Membership chair.

Please contact Laura Kaye and Felice Nightengale, RMS PTSA co-Presidents for more information.

GRIZ BIZ DAYS!

RMS Staff

We look forward to seeing you at Griz Biz, August 23 & 24 (8-2). Students can get their required ID picture taken, pick up necessary paperwork, purchase pictures, purchase ASB and/or yearbook, learn about and sign up for a sport, and take a tour of school. Also as a special bonus: get your picture taken with our mascot "Griz."

Parents are welcome to bring younger siblings. It's a positive thing that our future Grizzlies get to see what their middle school looks like. Just know that childcare is not provided, so please maintain close supervision of younger children.

Sincerely,
Kelly A. Clapp
Principal

Fall Sports Registration

RMS ASB

Fall sports paperwork is due by Wednesday, September 7th. All students planning to participate in cross country, badminton, or boys tennis should have a sports physical completed by the regular doctor or local clinic in advance of the paperwork deadline. The physical paperwork is available on the district website. Have questions about fall sports? Ask them in person at Griz Biz Days August 23rd or 24th.
