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 this 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. As a reminder, visitors are not allowed inside the school at this time. You may link up with your student when they head outside with their class prior to the start of Walkathon.

Can you help the Walkathon Committee? We need so many helpers this week! Please sign up for available spots. We need people who don't want to walk to stand at the various barricades, help with decorating, setting up, selling shirts, and more. After signing up, more details will follow. Click the link below to see what's available! 

Please contact Emily McNay at rhewalkathon@gmail.com if you have questions!

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.

Walkathon t-shirt sales are closed online, but you can purchase one at the Spirit Shop this week and on Friday morning. 

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!

Again, we are very sorry for this inconvenience. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
