4/29/24 RCHS Newsletter

Good afternoon Jags,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I am still trying to recover from Prom and After-Prom. Speaking of which, I would like to give a huge shout out to our Student Council and Advisors on their organization of a wonderful Prom at Mile High Station. If you have not ever had the chance to tour our After-Prom, it is truly out of this world. Our Volunteer Coordinator Karen Brankin organizes this event over the course of the entire year with many of our parents. This includes fundraising, every detail you can imagine and then some. I want to give Karen and all of our outstanding parent volunteers a huge THANK YOU! The transformation back and forth always blows my mind. Most importantly they provide a fun, safe event for our Juniors and Seniors. We continue to have record attendance at all of these events and I absolutely love seeing all of our students enjoy themselves.

May is approaching this week and with that we have 4 weeks of school remaining (2 for Seniors). Please encourage your students to give it their all and to wrap up this school year as best as possible.

Take care,

Andy Abner / Principal
