Please save the date for our annual Color Run fundraiser: Friday, May 12! This is our PTOs largest fundraising event of the year (and also the most fun). We will need a lot of volunteer help throughout the day to make this possible. If you already know that you can help, please sign up at the link below:

Students have requested that we add another color station to the event this year. Recruit some friends and sign up to be color throwers – it’s the best job!

Open PTO Leadership Roles for 2023/24

Please consider taking on one of these vital roles for the next school year. These must be filled in order for our PTO to continue to function:

• PTO President
• PTO Vice President
• PTO Secretary

8th Grade Events & Activities

8th grade events and activities are funded by the school and PTO so that ALL 8th graders can participate and have equal access. We do ask each family to contribute $75, or whatever they can, to offset the nearly $25,000 cost for the 8th grade events this year. Make your contribution online through PayPal or the PTO online store. If you make your payment online, please include a note with the name of your student. You may also pay by check by leaving it in the PTO box in the school office. Please note your student’s name on the check.

Volunteer

Please visit the RCSD website to find required forms and details about the process.
