A huge thank you to each and every member of our school community for Fall Festival on Friday! It was the best one yet, and whether you volunteered, organized, or attended and contributed, you all made it happen! The PA contacted auction and raffle winners to come pick up today between 3 and 5 pm, or arrange a different pick up time as needed.
Noon Duties Needed!
We need noon duty supervisors to work with students during lunch time, including supervising the playground, hosting lunch clubs and intramural games! If you are interested or know someone who is interested, please contact Hannah Bates at hbates@rvusd.org

Sports Updates
Flag Football
Below is the schedule for our last two games against other schools. Both games are played by Team 2. However, Team 1 had two less games than Team 2, so if your player is on team 1 they are welcome to come dressed to play at both games. I will try to rotate them in. The last game against VCA I will roster heavy on the 8th grade side giving them their last opportunity to play in this football league before they move on to High School.
As usual there is a practice tomorrow at 10am to 12pm, and Monday 3:15pm to 5:15pm.
Have a great weekend.

*Please remember to pick your player/child up after their game. Seventh graders staying for the 8th grade game need a parent or guardian to be present with them. Coach Gus and myself are not able to supervisor the students as we are coaching and managing stats and the scoreboard.
