Dear RGS Families,
As the crisp autumn air creeps in and the leaves turn gold and red, it can only mean one thing… Halloween is creeping up on us! We’re thrilled to invite you to our spooktacular Halloween celebration. Dust off your capes, hats, and fangs—it’s time to revel in a fang-tastic hour of fun and fright!
Pequeños and Grandes will kick off their festivities with a parade before their afternoon naps.
Date: Thursday, October 31
Time: 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM
Location: The MAC
What’s Brewing at our Halloween (Hawktoberfest):
🧙♂️ Costume Parade: Get ready to be bewitched by the spellbinding creativity of our little monsters! Our students will show off their wildest, wackiest costumes, from princesses to pirates, ghosts to goblins. Prepare to be dazzled (and maybe even a little spooked)!
🎶 Spooky Serenades: Our mini ghouls will sing eerie, enchanting tunes that will send delightful chills down your spine. It’s a hair-raising performance you won’t want to miss!
🕺 Monster Mash Dance Party: After the parade, it’s time to shake your bones! Join your kids for a ghoulishly good time as we dance to hauntingly fun Halloween hits. Beware: it’s a scream!
👻 Costume Guidelines: Parents, feel free to join the spooky spirit! Dress up in your silliest, scariest, or most creative costumes, but please remember: keep it kid-friendly! No terrifyingly gory costumes or realistic weapons. We want all our little trick-or-treaters to enjoy a frightfully fun (but not too scary) day.
Important Reminder:
Costumes are welcome all day long, but students must be able to comfortably sit, play, and learn without any haunted distractions. Masks and props can haunt their backpacks until the festivities begin. And remember: no gory costumes or prop weapons, please!
We can’t wait to see all the spooky smiles, hear the giggles (and maybe a few fun frights!), and celebrate this Halloween together. Let’s make it a day to remember on October 31st!
Stay eerie,
Ahlum Scary-ola

Dear Families,
We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming cross country meet on Monday, October 28, at THRIVE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, 73000 Old Santa FE TRAIL. Over the past few weeks, our student-athletes have been working hard, making incredible strides in their endurance, speed, and team spirit. Seeing their progress and enthusiasm grow with each practice has been a joy!
There is a $10 participation fee for each participant to help cover event costs, and we're excited to share that families are welcome to join the race, too! It's a beautiful opportunity to run alongside the students, support their efforts, and enjoy the fun atmosphere of race day together.
We genuinely appreciate your support throughout the season and look forward to celebrating all the hard work and dedication the students have put in. Let's make this a great event!
Thank you again, and we hope to see you there!
