Purchase an AD in the School Play Program
Dear Families,
Our School is preparing to debut their performance of Disney’s Peter Pan Jr! The show opens on April 2nd and we are asking local businesses to support our production by purchasing an ad in our program. Do you have a business, or know someone who does that could be featured in our ad book? A school production such as this is an exciting and positive way for our young people to channel their creativity and build friendships in our community. Families in our community would see your business featured in our program to let others know how much your organization values creativity in young people. Ads can either feature your business in a full page for only $25.00, or a half page, for $15.00. We would like to have all ads by March 29th. Ads can be sent in an envelope with a business card and payment for type of ad to either Rachael Sweeney (3rd grade) or Nick Schmoyer(5th grade). If you have any questions, please contact either Rachael Sweeney at rsweeney@crsd.org or Nick Schmoyer at nschmoyer@crsd.org. We thank you in advance for your support of our school's production!
Sincerely,
Rolling Hills Elementary’ s Musical Committee

Clothing Drive - April 7th
On Sunday, April 7th from 9am-12pm, the RHHSA will be holding it's annual Spring Clothing Drive. Please donate your unwanted, gently used clothing, shoes/boots, coats, purses/wallets, belts, bedding/sheets, curtains, blankets/towels and even stuffed animals! Ask your friends, family and neighbors to consider donating too! Please bring all bagged items to Rolling Hills. We will be collecting behind the school at the bus circle. If possible, please use kitchen size bags and grocery bags, rather than paper bags or industrial size garbage bags, as they are easier to load onto the truck. All items help those in need and anything that cannot be used will be reused/ recycled. All proceeds benefit our school! If you would like to donate but cannot drop off that day, or for more information, please contact Erica Buchman ( ericabuchman24@gmail.com).
RHHSA By-Law Changes
The Rolling Hills Home and School Association board has recently made a few updates to our existing By-Laws. These By-Laws have not been updated for several years and were in need of a few minor changes to be better aligned with changes in technology, board positions, etc. This announcement will serve as the required 30 day written notice of the proposed amendments. Please see the attached PDF to review the amended By-Laws and submit any questions or concerns to the RHHSA board. These changes will be voted on by all members present at our May 7th Home and School meeting. Thank you!
