Don't forget, tomorrow night LHS is hosting current 8th grade students and familiesto get a feel for just what freshman year will be all about. Tuesday, January 24th from6:00 pm to 6:30 pm you will meet school administrators and hear a bit about what life is like in high school. Following the meeting, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm will be Curriculum Night. This is when you can walk through the commons area to meet teachers, learn about classes and the curriculum at LHS.

Sports teams and extra curricular activities will also have information tables set up so you can get a look at all the opportunities available in high school. Don't forget to stop by the Lancer Parent Organization table for a look at volunteer opportunities at LHS. We hope to see you there!

One of the best nights of the school year is our Student Trivia Knight at RVMS. This is an event completely devoted to our kiddos. They have so much fun having a night out that is ALL about them! 

This student event is not like an adult trivia night.  First, this is for students only (with one parent chaperone per table).  There is no silent auction, or donation solicitation necessary. Here is what is needed to make this event successful.

1. Committee Chairs to organize all the parts
2. Volunteer(s) to write trivia questions per the theme and geared towards grade-levels 6th-8th.
3. Volunteer(s) to create a slideshow with questions.
4. Volunteer(2) to purchase small trinket prizes and pick-up a few gift cards as prizes for Overall Trivia Winners, Best Table Decorations Best Team Costumes.
5. Volunteers to help the night of to score trivia answer sheets.

As with all the wonderful events the PSO hosts for the students, if we can't get parent volunteers to help, we may have to cancel. Trivia Knight is a long standing tradition at RVMS, the students would be very disappointed if we have to cancel.  Please sign up today to take on one small part to make sure we can have this event for our students.

Trivia Knight is scheduled for Friday, March 10, 2023.  We would love to have your help! Sign Up to volunteer or reach out and we can share more details about this event.

Online Trivia Knight registration will begin March 1st.  Watch for more details to come.

The new semester gets underway next week and class schedules are changing. If you have a student enrolled in FACS class the last quarter of this year, you will need a sewing kit. 

The PSO has an easy way for you to get what you need. We are selling kits for FACS. Each kit includes the required pair of fabric shears, a pack of straight pins, and a pin cushion.  Let us save you the trouble and headache of driving around and looking for the best price! We order in bulk! 

Order a kit in the PSO Online Store, and the kit will be delivered directly to their FACS class, where the teacher will get them to your student. 

Check with your FACS teacher for any other items you may need for specific class projects. Those items can be purchased through the school.

The PSO School Store also stocks a few FACS kits if your student would like to purchase with cash in the store.  While supplies last.

If you use AmazonSmile when you purchase packages on Amazon then you know that charitable donations are made from each item you buy.  We just found out that after February 20, 2023, Amazon is changing the way they donate to charitable organizations. 

AmazonSmile is going away and instead, Amazon is focusing their donations on the communities where their employees live and work. 

RVMS has benefited from families purchasing through the AmazonSmile program over the years and we appreciate those who have used us as their charity of choice. You have just a little less than a month to continue adding up those Amazon donations through AmazonSmile.

In addition to the weekly PSO emails, RVMS PSO also works hard to keep you up-to-date through Social Media.
