RVMS COTILLION SIGNUP

This is a great way for your 7th or 8th grader to gain social confidence, learn about good manners and social dancing. Etiquette St. Louis invites all 7th & 8th grade students to be part of a five week course that meets after school in the gym from 2:45 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. The dates are 4/3, 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, and 5/8. School attire is appropriate for the Monday classes. 

Then at the end of the course, you get to have a night out with your child who will escort you to a Grand Finale Dinner Party and Dance. This will be held on Monday, May 15, 2023 from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm at the Missouri Athletic Club-Downtown. 

You will get to see all the wonderful things your child has learned through this experience. It's one of the highlights of our year. Register Online or print out the paperwork below and mail it to Etiquette St. Louis

WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Staff Celebrations!

Every month the PSO recognizes the RVMS staff birthdays, Special Events and Appreciation dates.

During the month of March the Staff Celebrations committee, along with the many other wonderful volunteers, created a trail mix bar for the staff to make their own trail mix.  What a fun idea!  

The PSO greatly appreciates everything the staff at RVMS does for our school and our students on a daily basis and this is a small way we can say thank you. 

To see a complete list of Special Events and Appreciation Dates visit the RSD website District Calendar page.
