Getting Ready for 2021!
Diversity Night - Coming Soon!
Our second annual Diversity Night is happening!
It may look a bit different this year, but we can’t wait to showcase all of the wonderful cultures and traditions of our Robert Hunter families!
After Winter Break, we will be asking you to create a video if you have something special you would like to showcase. Start to brainstorm! The ideas are endless but here are some examples.
Can you...
Perform a special dance?
Teach us some words or phrases from another language?
Teach us how to cook a traditional meal?
Read us a story from your country?
Tell us a folktale from your country?
Look for more information after winter break!
December Food Drive
Thank you to everyone who donated to the December Food Drive! Please consider dropping off donations next week. The donation bin will be outside the school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week.
Check out this flyer by the 4th grade Spirit Day Committee!
We hope RH students participate in the districtwide Virtual Run!

Shopping on Amazon a lot these days?

Does Your Employer Have a Matching Gift Program?
Many companies will match any donation you make to charitable organizations such as the RH PTO! You can make your donation go twice as far to support our school!
