Hello Mustangs Families!
We have had an outstanding outpouring of support from within our Mustang community and from the greater Lake Washington School District these past two weeks. The support we share for our students, parents, and community is something to be very proud of.
Your Redmond High School PTSA is working closely with leaders in the field of mental health to bring speaker forums to RHS. Please be on the lookout as we announce those dates.
Fall is certainly upon us, and there is much to look forward to!
Your RHS PTSA is very excited about our upcoming Holiday Bazaar. This is a wonderful annual community event that you don't want to miss. Sign up soon if you are interested in being one of our vendors - tables are selling fast! We will also have food trucks on campus, so bring your pocketbooks AND your appetites!
Mark your calendars - December 14!
Get your GREEN on: Please support our sustainability efforts and
turn off your engines while waiting in the parking lots. RHS is now an Idle Free Zone, so help us keep our air clean and shut off your engines.
Have you become a RHS PTSA member? It's never too late to join! Let your voting voice be heard and
JOIN RHS PTSA TODAY! And, please also consider a tax deductible contribution to our
PASS THE HAT fundraiser.
Thank you for your continued support!
GO STANGS!
Sincerely,
Meredith Cain and Michelle Obenaus
RHS PTSA Co-Presidents

ASVAB TESTING - Nov 19th
Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery
The ASVAB will be given at RHS on Tuesday November 19th at 7:30 am. This is open to sophomores, juniors & seniors. The test helps predict future academic and occupational success both in and out of the military. It does not commit you to do anything, rather can help you determine your own interests and aptitude even if you are not planning to enter the military or are undecided.
The test is FREE and students taking the test will be excused from their morning classes. Sign up in the College & career Center, room E111.

Students’ submissions are judged in the following areas: game of the year, arts and animation, game design, programming (code), and audio design. This year's theme is Animals.
The online intent to submit forms are due January 15, 2020, and information can be found by clicking the button below.

COMING SOON
:
NO IDLE ZONES @ RHS
LWSD is implementing No Idle Zones at all schools this year. Signage has been placed at all Elementary Schools. Over winter break signage at Middle and High Schools will be installed. As the temperature drops the temptation to keep the engine running while waiting for students is high.
Please use restraint by turning off your engine while waiting at school or neighborhood bus drop-off/pickup areas.
PLEASE bring this topic to the attention of your driving age students. Sitting in a warm car before school is very tempting (and currently observed). Promoting the idea of saving money on gas may be an incentive to turn off the engine.
