Hello Mustangs!
We are sure that you are all looking forward to a long-awaited and well-deserved break!
We'd like to give a special thank you to everyone who attended this year's Holiday Bazaar, we hope you were able to find the perfect gifts from our amazing vendors.
We'd also like to thank everyone who helped to make the Holiday Bazaar a huge success - our chair Elizabeth Christian, our entire PTSA board, the RHS staff, and all of our many parent and student volunteers!
THANK YOU!
The PTSA is also very excited to share with you that thanks to your generous donations,
we were able to fund over $8,000 in staff grants this year. Here is how the PTSA and your funds are helping to support our teachers and staff: Updated and more useful furniture for our library and our credit retrieval program, camera equipment for the Mustang Broadcast News, a special speaker for our Business Law class, manipulatives for our special education department, adaptive PE equipment for our PE department, and incentives to recognize our students who demonstrate Pack Way characteristics. We hope to fund more grants in the spring, if funds are available. Your donations are so important and make a difference;
Every penny is impactful. Thank for your generosity!
In addition to these grants,
the PTSA is also launching a Graphing Calculator Program to help support the math department and students in need. If you have an old graphing calculator that is no longer being used, please consider donating it to RHS. Drop it in the donation box in the front office.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a positive member of the Mustang Community.
We hope you have a wonderful, restful, and safe holiday filled with friends and family.

Meredith Cain and Michelle Obenaus
