RHS Spring Dance on April 5 Needs Your Help!

The Associated Student Body (ASB) has been working hard on planning for the Spring Dance, set for Saturday, April 5. It seems like a long time away, but it will come sooner than you think, so please sign up as soon you can.

Your help is needed for checking-in coats, handing out refreshments, and supervising the game room. Let's help out the ASB and make it special for all the kids!

We've split the event into two volunteer shifts, so sign up for one shift or do a double shift and stay the whole night. We appreciate your help either way!
