PTSA NEWS

Welcome Back Breakfast

The RHS Staff started off September with a Welcome Back Breakfast put on by your PTSA. It was grab-n-go fare with bagels & cream cheese, muffins, scones, fruit, yogurt, and coffee or tea.

A huge “Thank You” goes out to the volunteers who helped make this event happen: Lisa, Renukka, Pam, Neeta, Matt, and Tracey.

Show your Spirit with a Redmond High School Blanket

Cool weather and football season are coming! You can keep warm and show your RHS spirit under a warm and cozy blanket. These soft, double-sided blankets are 60" x 80" and perfect for both inside and outside. Sales of Redmond High School spirit blanks help support Grad Night to make ticket prices lower for all seniors.

Calling all Mustang Artists!

The Reflections Program is a National PTA cultural arts competition. Students use their creative talents to express themselves through an original work of art in response to a theme.

The theme for this year's program is “I am Hopeful Because…”. Art work can be expressed in one or more of the following categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. Visit our Reflections page for more information.

Now is the time to start working on this year's Reflection art work. We cannot wait to see your creations! You can find more information here.
