Parent Pack News
The RMS staff has asked for parent volunteers to help with some on-site projects. New projects will be added often and we will send updates as they become available. Right now, there are a couple of outstanding things they'd like done. You can see them at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4baaaa29aa8-rmsonsite
Once you've signed up, you will contact the requesting staff member directly for instructions and details. If you have any issues with communication, please contact Erin Oberhauser, RealtorErin@me.com or 402-677-1883.
Also, our SignUp Geniuses fill quickly (great problem!). As the year gets rolling, more and more opportunities will come up! We'll send them via e-mail and post them on our Russell Parent Pack Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/groups/RussellParentPack/.
The staff are LOVING the parent involvement so far! Let's keep the momentum going!
It's not too late to join the Parent Pack! Use this link to join our group and let us know where you can help. Our first Parent Pack meeting will be on September 5th in the RMS library at 6:30 p.m. We hope that you can join us!
