NEW… Calling All Class of 2010 Parents and Guardians: Parents and guardians of the class of 2010 students, please join us for our fall get together on Tuesday, November 13th from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM in the RHS Commons. Learn all about the class of 2010 graduation fund raising goals and events. The funds we raise during the next three years will help offset the costs of the many graduation events ensuring that all RHS students in the class of 2010 can participate.
Find out about the many opportunities for families to get involved and the events the class of 2010 host: Winter Ball in December 2007, Tolo in February 2009, Graduation events in 2010 (Senior Spree, Senior Lunch, Senior Prom and Graduation). Two additional fund raising activities have been planned that will occur in '08, '09 and '10 to help the class reach its fund-raising goal --- a direct donation campaign encouraging families to make a contribution to the class of 2010 each year and a fun parent dinner party/mini-auction each spring. We're looking forward to meeting with you!

Other Old News
Speeding Cars Around RHS in the Mornings: Remind your students of the speed limit around RHS (or any school for that matter). It has been reported that high schoolers are speeding down 16th/17th/18th Avenues between NE 77th and 75th in the mornings between 7:15 and 7:30. Violators, if caught, will be prosecuted and the neighborhood and the police are now aware of the problem. Also remind students that with the coming frosty mornings and low temperatures, it makes driving even more treacherous. Students need to be reminded that that while this area may be somewhere they are passing thru to get to school, it's a neighborhood for others. Also, if they get ticketed for speeding, their (and parents) insurance rates are likely to go up.
WHEN DO WINTER SPORTS START? – Girl’s and Boy’s Basketball, Boy’s Swimming, and Wrestling start November 12th. Gymnastics starts November 5th.

It will be in the staff lounge just above The Commons beginning at 10:45 with first lunch. Please have your food delivered to the staff lounge no later than 10AM that day, as it takes a while to get everything set up. We’d like to have hardy soups, salads and sandwiches for the staff. I have put a list of the categories below (I’ll get all the fixings for the sandwiches, the water, plates, soup cups, etc.).
Hardy Soups – would like 10 people to each bring quantity to feed 20 (I’m just doing cups, not big bowls…..). Please bring a ladle to serve your soup, and label it well.
Large salads – 20 people bring your favorite fall salad
Please be sure to label your serving pieces!!!! We’ll give a good rinse to your dishes, and keep them in the staff lounge instead of crowding the main office with them. Please come back later that afternoon (around 12:20/1:00) to pick your things up from the lounge. Let me know what you can bring. If you aren’t going to be here that day, but want to contribute something, you can bring it to my home the day before. I will also plan on being at the school by 8:30 that morning to receive your items. Soups should arrive hot, as I don’t know about re-heating ability in the staff lounge.
