The FUN from FUNdraising continues this week as we get into the heart of Spirit Week. Student Council has set a goal to raise over $100,000 for Veterans Are Heroes, and they will need all the help they can get! We hope you will encourage your students to participate in the class buyouts, breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and tons of activities! And be sure to join us on Friday night beginning at 5:30pm for a pre-game tailgate with food trucks and games. We hope for a BIG check reveal during half time at the football game vs Eastside. 

The Silent Auction is NOW OPEN and closes this Wednesday at 8pm. We have an amazing collection of items to bid on this year, including a Louis Vuitton purse, ACT or SAT prep session from Wired Minds, rounds of golf at Greer Golf, gift cards to numerous restaurants, and much more! Happy bidding!

In celebration of National Arts in Education Week, RHS PTSA is launching its annual Reflections Contest. Does your student enjoy art, music and dance or have an interest in writing, producing films or taking photos? Then join us in encouraging your student to have fun unleashing their inner artist with PTA Reflections! This year’s theme, “I Belong” calls for their unique interpretation through the arts. Students will enjoy rewards ($50 for 1st Place!) and recognition for their effort, and their judged entry may be selected as a winner at the school, district, state, or national level. Check out the Reflections information on our PTSA website or contact Kristen Belflower at kristen@thebelflowers.com for more information. Entries are due by Friday, January 9, 2025.
