Happy Summer Raleigh Hills Community!
Thank you all for another incredible school year! This has been a year of impressive learning, solid student growth, and coming together as a Raleigh Hills community. Thank you to all of our students, teachers, staff, PTO, parents, and our entire Raleigh Hills community for making our 125th year such a memorable one.
As you transition in to summer, I hope you enjoy some adventures, spend time together, and relax and recharge. I also encourage you to prioritize time and establish routines so your children do plenty of reading and learning. And, wherever you go, whatever you do, and whoever you spend your time with, I wish you a wonderful summer! Here are a few news items to keep in mind.
Congratulations Marathon Runners!
Panther Pacers concluded last week. A big thank you to all students and volunteers that made this PTO sponsored event happen week after week.

17 sixth graders ran this year. Thank you for continuing the tradition
