This week is Teacher Appreciation Week!
SGA Talent Show and Raven Market
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday evening to support our students showcasing their talents in the Raven Market and the Talent Show. We had a great turnout!
Thank you to our students who participated in the market and on stage. On a personal note, it was so heartwarming to see our students support one another. RECHS students have wonderful camaraderie and that was seen on Friday.
A special thank you and bravo go to Jordan Hicks and Jason Bradshaw. The evening would not have been possible without the vision and work of these two students.

The SGA will hold a meeting on Thursday, May 5th, which will be our campaign meeting. If you have not had the chance to join SGA this year, and want to run for one of our four positions offered, please contact Jason Bradshaw or Jordan Hicks (Mary Hicks) for more information.
Make sure you are running for the right reasons! Voting will be held within the SGA, so if you want to run, make sure you attend that meeting and campaign! This form will serve as the elected position interest form.
Also, in preparation for the Monthly Flock staff next year, if you want to join, you should attend the May 5th meeting as well so you can be accounted for and given specific instructions. Thank you so much for your continued support!
