Please just print or show a digital version of this flyer to the cashier when you place your order. Online orders will not be counted towards this fundraiser, so please be sure to come into the restaurant or call ahead in order to participate in the fundraiser.
2. Parent Coffee, Wednesday, May 2, at 9:00AM : Please join us at our next parent coffee to discuss safety and security at our school. There are a variety of security protocols and drills that we conduct to ensure a safe and secure environment for our students and staff. At this coffee, we will provide information on best practices as well as answer any questions from parents. We hope you will be able to join us.
3. National Junior Honor Society:
8th grade members: All 10 NJHS service
hours must be verified in x2VOL by Friday, May 4th at 2:15.
Students who do not meet the service hour requirement will not be invited to
the medal ceremony. Please contact your team’s liaison if you have questions
about your service hours.
7th grade students: NJHS applications
will be mailed to eligible 7th grade students in May. The NJHS
recognizes students for excellence in Scholarship, Character, Leadership,
Citizenship, and Service. Membership in the society indicates that a
student attains, demonstrates, and promotes all of these qualities. All
seventh grade students who have maintained a 3.5 cumulative grade point average
(GPA) in the first three quarters of seventh grade will be invited to complete
an application. The 3.5 GPA is calculated by the county office and not at
RCMS. The query used to calculate a 3.5 uses 3.4999. Any average
below the 3.4999 is not considered a 3.5. Please contact your counselor
if you have questions about your GPA.
4. RCMS Drama Presentation: Our Drama Department will present Fiddler on the Roof Jr. on May 3, 4 and 5, at 7:00PM, in the RCMS Lecture Hall. Ticket sales begin April 17 at https://www.itickets.com/register/new/392244.
