FUNDRAISERS FOR RHS PTO

The 2019-20 RHS Family Sponsorship Campaign is Underway!
Each year, we start the school year with our only major fundraiser, the Family Sponsorship Campaign (FSC). The goal of this campaign is to raise funds in support of the RHS PTO, with one donation, rather than multiple appeals throughout the school year.

Some of the programs that your donations fund are the PTO Grant Program at RHS, the Multicultural Club, teacher support through grants, Teacher Appreciation events, the PTO Scholarship Award, Senior Awards, Class Proms, and Senior Post Prom.

Get a free car magnet (choice of two styles) with donations of $50 and above
Get a free house flag with donations of $250 and above
