HROA Staff Highlight
Did you know that our very own Mandy Betz was recently inducted into the HRVHS Athletic Hall of Fame?! She was, for the two years that her high school ski team won state. Mandy has always said that she wishes HROA existed when she was in high school, because she would have taken full advantage of the flexibility so she could ski more! :) Mandy has been with HROA since day one, and was the original HROA secretary. Now she is the person to help register students, manage our financial books, and transcribe student grades! It's a big job and she does it with grace and humor. Thanks for all you do for HROA!
