Hello Mustangs!
We hope the beginning of Semester 1 Finals are off to a smooth start in your homes! As you know, the three snow days have changed our end of semester schedule slightly.
Please check the link below for the updated end of semester schedule.
Just as students have finals, your PTSA has a mid-year financial review.
Have you ever wondered how our books are kept and how our funds are managed? If so, join our Financial Review Committee! You need no specific skills. Easy to follow instructions are provided. If you are able to commit to ~3 hours of your time, email us to learn more and to
join our Financial Review Committee!

Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior parents:
We need you! One fabulous event the PTSA sponsors is
Grad Night, an all-night drug and alcohol-free graduation celebration for senior students, held after the commencement ceremony (ticket purchase required). Your Grad Night Committee is looking for
Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior parents to help make this night a success. Why these grade-level parents? Because when you are a Senior parent, we want you to sit, relax, and experience your last RHS event from the sidelines--you have earned that! Please email us if you wish to help make this a special night for our graduating seniors!

Though we are only just ending first semester, your PTSA is looking to the future!

Thanks for supporting our PTSA and remember to get involved wherever you can; we want YOU to be a part of our RHS PTSA!
