PSO BOARD 2023-2024
Don't Forget to Vote for Your PSO!

It takes an entire village of parent volunteers to keep the RVMS PSO wheel in motion.  We are grateful for the numerous volunteers that work in the school store, donate items as needed, and give their time to events and activities.  

We are especially grateful to the PSO Leadership team that works tirelessly to put these things in place to keep PSO traditions alive and to bring new, creative ideas to the table.

Please take a minute to cast your vote for the PSO Board of Executive Officers for the 2023-2024 school year.
