Happy New Year! 

I would like to thank everyone who has donated to RIBLI so far this year! We would not be successful without financial support. With limited access to campus for all parents and volunteers I wanted to provide an update on what RIBLI has been doing behind the scenes, mostly from home. 

  • Kicked off the school year by providing a video providing info on RIBLI for new families/students for the online orientation 

  • Worked as ambassadors to promote the IB application process via social media 

  • Purchased and provided pins for the IB Junior Pinning Ceremony 

  • Maintained and updated the RIBLI website with current information and merchandise 

  • Budgeted for the 2020-2021 school year based on decreased revenue while maintaining enhancements for IB staff and students for this school year and next 

  • Paid fees specific to IB for online and communication services

  • Provided and budgeted for teacher grants specific to IB 

  • Coordinated class of 2020 IB Diploma "Drive Thru" with IB Admin and IB Guidance 

  • Provided IB class of 2020 diploma recipients with "Grab Bags"

  • Worked with IB Admin and Guidance to provide and send out an email to all families with information specific to IB every two weeks 

  • Partnered with the RHS Foundation and the RHS PTSA to provide a small Thanksgiving, thank you gift to all staff at RHS

  • Currently working with a vendor to provide IB specific stoles for the class of 2021 graduation 

  • For the Class of 2021, started process of planning senior banquet

We also have reached out to promote the website for donations and IB merchandise. While we are not having typical events or coffee houses we still have expenses that need to be covered and need your support more now than ever. As a parent led organization, we could not provide these benefits without volunteers and funding, thank you to all who have donated time or treasure to support RIBLI this school year. 

Go Knights!
