Dear Families:
Halloween is fast approaching and the RCS school community is getting ready for some holiday fun! On Thursday, October 22nd, the PTSA is sponsoring a “Pumpkin Picking” activity for students in Grades PreK-4. Thanks to the generosity of Buck’s Pumpkin Patch in Jefferson, these pumpkins will be placed on the athletic field and students will “pick” them at their scheduled time. Before the end of the day students in grades 5 & 6 will be given special Halloween treats from the PTSA.
In the afternoon on Friday, October 30th students in grades Prek-6 will have celebrations within their classrooms. Treats may be sent in but remember they must be pre-packaged. The Student Council is putting together a Halloween costume, “Guess Who” for students in grades 7-12. Although we cannot have our traditional Halloween Parade down Main Street this year, other activities and celebrations have been established. It is our hope that the parade will continue next school year.
On Wednesday, November 11th, school will be closed in observance of the Veteran’s Day holiday. Teachers will be sending work home for students who are remote learning earlier in the week to be delivered by school bus and/or school van.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jill Ten Eyck, Principal
