RHHSA Shout Out!
*Special Request from the RHE Play Committee!*
The directors of the RHE Play Committee need your help this year!
We are in need of 2 toddler beds that can be utilized in this year’s production of Disney’s Peter Pan Jr. The beds need to fit a crib mattress. If you currently own a toddler bed that you aren’t using and would be willing to lend it to our production, please send an email to nschmoyer@crsd.org with your name and a picture of the bed. We will take great care with your donation and return it to you promptly at the conclusion of the play in early April.
Thank you for your consideration!
