Happy Wednesday,
 
There will be NO Homework Center TOMORROW.

I sent home science camp statements today to the gold group (except for those students who have either a) paid in full or b) are selling chocolate bars).  Please make checks payable to RHMS and make sure to include your child’s name in the memo portion of the check.    
 
Heart & Sole is Girls on the Run’s after-school program that gives 6-8th grade girls the tools to
be healthy, happy, and confident. Heart & Sole is more than just a running program! The 10-
week curriculum focuses on the whole girl - body, brain, heart, social, spirit - using fun games
and activities to teach her how to set goals and boundaries, ask for and receive help, set up a
support system, and more! Physical activity is woven into the program, helping the girls increase
their strength and endurance for the Girls on the Run 5K on May 18. Registration is open! Go
to www.gotrsv.org for more information and to sign up!
The candy fundraiser will be ending on Friday, 12/14.  A reminder to return money and any unsold candy bars to your child’s core teacher.
 
Please remember the RHMS Toy Drive!  We are asking for new toys appropriate for middle school aged children (no video games or gift cards, please).  The last day to donate toys will be Friday, 12/14.  Thanks as always for your support.
 
Just a reminder that we will be attending science camp from Tuesday, 1/15/19 through Friday, 1/18/19.    
 
COLLECTING ALL BOX TOPS!! If you have been collecting BOX TOPS, Please bring then to your 1st period teacher.  PLEASE put the BOX TOPS in a baggie and write your child’s name/# of BOX TOPS on the baggie.  We will be collecting BOX TOPS throughout the year, so if you can start saving them now, that would be great!!  Thanks for your support.
