We hope you’re having a great start to the second semester and are looking forward to mid-winter break this week. We have some exciting things to report on this week.
First, at our Board meeting last week, the Board approved two grant requests. The first was in the amount of $2,260 for the purchase of LEGO Education BricQ Motion Prime sets for use by the resource math team in the Special Education department. These sets will enable the department to provide sustainable, project-based learning opportunities for students in their specially designed instruction math classes that can be used for years to come. The second was in the amount of $2,800 for the purpose of having the RHS fight song painted on the gym wall. When the gym was repainted to brighten up the space, the fight song was painted over. The grant from the PTSA will enable the school to once again proudly display the song on the wall.
Second, the PTSA’s Grad Night Committee is up and running! Grad Night is a safe, drug-free and alcohol-free all-night party for graduating seniors and is sponsored by the PTSA each year. Grad Night is paid for by ticket sales to graduating seniors and from fundraising and direct donations. Since the return to school following the pandemic, the PTSA has been working hard to reduce the ticket price and add scholarships in order to make the event accessible and affordable to any graduating senior who wants to attend. As a result, you will be seeing a number of fundraisers specifically to raise money for Grad Night. Right now, we have three fantastic fundraisers going on: Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Remlinger Farm Pie sales for Pi Day, and a logo blanket and decal sale (for details on each, read on below). So, please consider supporting our graduating senior class and get ready to enjoy some doughnuts and pie while snuggled under your soft RHS logo blanket!
Finally, our Nominating Committee is looking for interested persons to fill Board positions next year. If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else (with their permission please 😊), please reach out to NomCom@redmondhsptsa.org.
As a heads-up, unless there is any breaking news that we need to share next week, we will not have a newsletter for the week of February 19. We would like to allow our people who bring you this content to have some time off to spend with family. I hope you all have a wonderful mid-winter break!
