Pizza and Rain for Curriculum Night

Besides the pouring rain last week, your Curriculum Night staff were treated to a quick grab-n-go pizza dinner before the event. If you see them around, please join your PTSA in thanking all of our wonderful teachers and support staff who stayed late into the night to connect with parents/guardians and provide curriculum information. As well, we are grateful for our volunteers Neeta, Pam, Lisa, and Tracey for bringing dinner and cleaning up afterward.

Thank you to everyone that has donated to our Staff Appreciation Fund. Your donations allow us to treat our amazing RHS staff at Curriculum Night and throughout the year.

Have a great 2023-24 school year!
