Field Day Volunteers Needed!
Field Day is almost here - Friday May 17th! The kids are super excited and we are in need of volunteers to help run the games, fill water jugs etc. The sign up genius below lists the times, grades, and activities. Thank you in advance for your time, the kids truly appreciate it!
Field Day Lunch
Field Day this year is Friday, May 17th. In the past, the RHHSA has provided a picnic lunch through Chartwells. This year we have decided to change things up a bit and offer a pizza picnic lunch instead. Each child will be given two slices of pizza (Meglio's), chips, fruit, and water or juice. Students may also bring a packed lunch. They will still bring their beach towels and enjoy their lunch outside. We need a firm count on how many students would like pizza.
Please complete form at the link below for each child in your family by May 3rd.
Save the Date - Visit/Tour RMS - May 23rd
As you know, Rolling Hills Elementary will be undergoing a complete renovation during next school year (the 2019-2020 school year). We are excited about the transformation that will be happening at our school. During the renovation, Rolling Hills Elementary will be housed at the former Richboro Middle School (98 Upper Holland Road, Richboro, Pa 18954) for the 2019-2020 school year. Currently, Wrightstown Elementary is housed at this location during their current renovation. There has been a lot of planning to help us prepare for next school year and for the renovations.
Families are welcome to tour Richboro Middle School and listen to a presentation from Mr. Smith. More information coming soon!
