Greetings Reynolds families!

It’s hard to believe that we are already at the end of

April – this year has flown by! While we are heading

into the “home stretch” as PTSA Presidents, planning

for next year is already underway and the RJR PTSA

NEEDS YOU!

First VP and next year’s President, Kate Ruley, is currently filling positions for the 2014-2015 PTSA board and committees, and would LOVE new volunteers for existing positions as well as new opportunities.  Do you enjoy the arts, gardening, tutoring, throwing parties, giving tours, helping with registration or fundraising?  The PTSA has all of that and more!

 

Don't be shy. We need volunteers with all different skill sets, backgrounds, abilities and available time commitments...there is literally something for everyone and you can volunteer whether you have one hour a year or 10 hours a week to give!  The PTSA is the perfect way to “get to know” other parents, teachers and administrators, and be "in the know" regarding all things RJR! 

 

Please contact Kate Ruley at ruleykd@ if you would like to get involved or know someone you would like to nominate (including incoming freshman parents).

On another note, graduation is fast approaching and we’ve been getting lots of questions about graduation tickets. While details are being finalized and will be communicated by the Senior Class sponsors as soon as possible, we wanted to let everyone know that tickets to graduation are NOT required, thus students are NOT limited in the number of family members who can attend.
