Gobble, Gobble
The leaves have fallen and the temperature is dropping as we move into November. Fall is upon us. October proved to be a very busy, and interesting, month for us at RAHS.

Our marching band performed several wonderful field shows, the dance team wowed the crowds at our football games, the orchestra and choirs had fantastic concerts, our fall athletic teams finished their seasons, and we had a number of outstanding costumes at school on Halloween
.
Hopefully parents had the opportunity to get to parent-teacher conferences on November 1st, as we always enjoy sharing feedback about your children. We had a full school day on November 2nd, due to cancelled classes in early September.

As the days grow shorter and the possibility for snow and inclement weather grows, please be aware of any changes to our school days.

We hope to see you here again soon, perhaps for the Veterans Day program on November 12th at 10:00 a.m., or supporting our students as they perform the fall play, begin the winter athletic/activity season and generally demonstrate that we have a great group of young people at RAHS.

We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving that includes time together with family, and don’t forget to check us out on social media. #ReedsburgPride
