VENTRICELLI GOFUNDME AND ARRANGEMENTS

We have feedback that this GoFundMe is legit and will support services for Anthony.

Also, here is a link for details on the services for Anthony and his mother.

PLEASE CHECK MAILBOXES FOR GUIDANCE PASSES

Please check your mailboxes. We need to make sure students are keeping their appointments for course selection. We are still in the course selection process, and we need your help to make sure the students meet with their counselors.

CHOIR FESTIVAL

Roxbury High School will be hosting our 31st Annual Choir Invitational. This is one of my favorite events at RHS. If you get a chance, swing by for some outstanding vocal performances.

Thanks again to everyone. Monica did an excellent job setting up groups and entering rooms in Genesis. That was beyond helpful.

Melissa and Bill did an amazing job training our staff. Testing went off incredibly smoothly. Jeff Fiscina graciously assisted with morning organization and procedures.

Our Tech Department was critical in the effectiveness of our test administration. Tanks Sheila, Tommy Hellner, Wa-Day, and the entire Tech Department.

One more shout-out to Melissa. She really made sure the process was as simple as possible for our faculty and staff.

DUNK TANK SIGN-UP

REA is in the works of organizing a Fun Run for Saturday, April 29, starting at the high school. We thought it would be fun to have staff from all buildings get "dunked". You are also welcome to participate, and to be honest, I think the kids would enjoy that more than dunking their teachers! Here is the sign-up form. Whichever staff member gets dunked/raises most money will get some sort of prize. If you have any questions, please reach out! Thank you!
