Happy Wednesday,

*Checks should be made payable to Rolling Hills Middle School.  Please write your child’s name on the memo portion of the check.
*IF your child is fundraising, check off the fundraising box and leave the dollar amount blank.  Once fundraising is completed, we will add it all up for your child, and send you a note with the remaining balance.  At that time, you can send in your check.
