It was nice visiting with many of you at last night’s Notes & Floats.  Our choir/band/art students did a fabulous job.

Happy Baskin-Robbins Thursday,
 
I stopped by after school today, and it was great to see some of the kids.  I am concerned about some of the things that I am hearing, though.  Today, Ms. Harrington had a guest teacher, and it is my understanding that things got out of control during PE.  Additionally, some of the “games” that are being played (both inside and outside of the classroom) are not appropriate at school or anywhere!  I continue to tell the kids to act as if I were still there, but it doesn’t seem to be working.  Some of what’s going on is extremely hurtful to other students.  I would appreciate it if you could talk to your child.  
Mr. Burbank and Ms. Gombis are looking for student WEB leaders for next year.  ALL students are welcome at the informational meetings.  Applications will be passed out at this meeting. 
RHMS track league and county qualifier pictures and jersey turn in is TOMORROW during lunch (10 mins. after the first bell.)  Please meet in the gym — bring your medals from league and county.  
The Theatre Club is hosting RHMS’ Got Talent show.  The show will be from 6-8 ( possibly 7) on Friday, May 31.  There will be auditions after school till 4:30 TOMORROW, Friday, May 24.  Each talent should be no longer than 5 minutes.  Mr. Aguayo is the Theatre Club advisor, in case you have questions.
 
All RHMS books need to be returned by May 30, 2019.  The library will be open at recess and lunch until the end of May.
Ms. Perris’ library books need to be returned by Friday, June 7.
