Your student(s) should bring completed forms and a check payable to "RHS PTSA Class of 2012" to the Concession Stand during lunchtime on one of the dates listed above.
Bus assignments for SPREE are on a "First Come First Served" basis, so students may want to coordinate with their friends to sign up at the same time to be on the same bus. The earlier students sign up, the better chance they have of being on the bus with their friends.
Scholarships for all of these events are available through the counseling office; students should contact Wendy Krakauer.

What is Class Fundraising?
Why do we have Class Fundraising at RHS?
As you will see, these graduation-related activities at RHS - Senior Luncheon, Graduation, Senior Awards, Senior Prom and Senior Spree are all designed to make Senior year a memorable one. These activities are expensive and the cost continues to increase each year. By raising money each year, it increases the possibility that all students who want to attend the senior functions will be able to do so.
There is still time to donate, as funds are needed to help provide scholarships and subsidize the cost of the events, so that every student can attend.
If you have not yet contributed, it’s not too late! For more information, or to make a donation, please contact Karen O’Connor at RHS2012seniors@gmail.com.
Do you have questions about the class fundraising activities at RHS, what they support and how you can get involved? You'll find many answers to these questions on the Class Fundraising page.
Senior Class of 2012 Parent Involvement Needed
If you would like to be involved in the many events hosted by the PTSA supporting your seniors this year, please contact one of the Class of 2011 Parent Reps. We greatly appreciate and welcome your help.
Because the quickest and least expensive way for us to communicate is via email, we have established an email account for communications regarding Class of 2012 senior events. This is an account that will only be used to communicate deadlines and information regarding senior events. Only Class Parent Volunteers will have access to this account. Please send the following information to (RHS2012seniors@gmail.com) so we can add your family to the database for senior event communications:
1) Family / Parent or Guardian name(s)
2) Senior student name
3) Preferred email(s)
PLEASE NOTE: even if you have "opted-in" to the PTSA email list (which we encourage you to do!), we need your participation on this list. We would like to have 100% participation by our senior families to ensure everyone has the information they need.
Thank You
Thank you, Class of 2012 parents and students! Your financial support will significantly subsidize the actual costs of these events and make scholarships possible. We are looking forward to a fun and memorable end of the year for our Seniors!
