Hello Mustangs!
Welcome to second semester - finally! We hope that your students had a successful week of finals and are now settling into their new schedules and getting off to a great start!
Your PTSA is focusing on new events for the remainder of the year and we'd love to hear from you! Do you have an idea for an event? Have a subject that a speaker and panel could address? Have a program you'd love to see at RHS? Email us! We want you to be a part of the spirit of RHS, we want you to be involved. There is a spot for you, check our list of current
PTSA programs below.
One upcoming event we are focused on is the Senior Send-Off (formerly known as Baccalaureate), the event is scheduled for June 12th and we can not wait to celebrate our outgoing seniors. Please watch this newsletter and our website for more information coming about this wonderful event. And senior parents, please check out the
Senior Timeline link below to make sure you aren't missing any of the senior deadlines for this year!
We'd also like to take a moment to thank one of our amazing volunteers, our treasurer Venkat! Taking on one of the most challenging positions on our board, he has gone above and beyond at every opportunity! Keeping your donations and our budget in line is so very important and we would not be able to provide the many programs including our teacher and staff grants without the guidance of Venkat. Thank you!
Thanks for supporting our PTSA and remember to get involved wherever you can; we want YOU to be a part of our RHS PTSA!

Sincerely,
Meredith Cain and Michelle Obenaus
