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!

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP HERE

Important: All volunteers MUST be approved by the Lake Washington School District by event day. Approval will be verified before the event. Please fill out the LWSD Volunteer Application to begin the online approval process.

Come experience two incredible places on our amazing earth with fellow RHS teachers and students. These trips are open to all students who will be enrolled at RHS in the 2025-26 school year. 

Costa Rica: This is a 2026 spring break trip led by Spanish teacher Jill Grimaldo. Find out more at https://www.eftours.com/tour-website/2750157CC or email jgrimaldo@lwsd.org for more information.

Galapagos Islands: This is a summer 2026 (July) trip led by science teacher Sarah Borgen. Find out more at https://www.eftours.com/tour-website/2865243UD or email sborgen@lwsd.org for more information.

We look forward to learning with RHS students in these amazing destinations!

9 to 5 is a high-energy, empowering comedy about three women who work together in a corporate office environment, each facing their own struggles with a sexist, egotistical boss. When they unite to take matters into their own hands, they spark a revolution that transforms their workplace and their lives. Filled with humor, show-stopping dance numbers, and a strong message of female empowerment, the show celebrates friendship, resilience, and the pursuit of justice.

Order tickets and check out which students are in which cast (plan to see BOTH!).

ORDER 9 to 5:THE MUSICAL TICKETS

The Friday, March 7 show will feature professional American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters and our RHS ASL honors club will be on hand to help with ticketing, concessions, and ushering. Spread the word!!
