What is Walkathon? It is an opportunity to build community and raise money for our school. We want every family to participate, and there are many options to do this. The Walkathon will take place on Friday, Oct. 1, 2021, at 8:00 am, and we want YOU to be there. Families are welcome and encouraged to join as the entire school takes a 1-mile walk around the neighborhood.

Walkathon permission slips/shirt sizes are due this Wednesday, 9/15! 

Learn more about Walkathon here: https://rhpta.com/walkathon

Questions? Email Walkathon Chair, Emily McNay: rhewalkathon@gmail.com 

These are a few ways you can donate your time and/or resources in order to help make this year’s Walkathon a success.

For the month of September, each week we will be having a special Walkathon Spirit Shop AFTER school on Tuesdays from 2:45 - 3:30 pm and BEFORE school on Wednesdays from 7:20 - 8:00 am.  We will be set up at different locations around the front of the school where kids are picked up and dropped off. Not only will your kids be able to purchase some pretty awesome goodies,  snacks, and popsicles; but this is where you will buy your bracelet that will allow your child to have FREE DRESS on WEDNESDAYS.  

Some of the items that will be for sale include the popular “pop it” keychains, RHE gear, an assortment of friendship bracelets, headbands, flashlight keychains, sport keychains, and stickers.  We will also be selling popsicles after school on Tuesdays.  Everything will be between $1 - $5.

BUT, in order to make this a success we need you to help us with two things…. 

1) VOLUNTEER - If you are available to volunteer to work at one of the tables, please sign up here - https://www.signupgenius.com/.../409084AADA822AAFB6...

AND

 2) COME VISIT THE SPIRIT SHOP (or send your kids with some money). This is a great way for ALL of us to support the school that pours so much into our children and be able to make it better and better!   

Looking forward to "Hiking the Hills Together" with y’all!

Yearbooks from the 2020-2021 school year are on the way! Parents will be contacted as soon as they are ready to be picked up. 

As a reminder during carpool, please do not park and leave your car unattended in the carpool line on Cumberland and Angus to walk up to the school to pick up/ drop off your child. This creates a huge backup. Please park on the surrounding streets if you are walking up to drop off/ pickup. If you have any questions, please message or email PTA President, Megan Powers. Thank you.
