INVESTMENT IN OUR FUTURE
Where did your money go?

Thanks to the generous donations and active involvement of our RVMS Community, the RVMS PSO raised over $22,000 this year to invest back into our school and our students!  

Through activities such as buzz book, lanyard and school store sales, Dine to Donate nights, and direct donations to the Castle Campaign, the PSO has been able to fill numerous staff grant requests, as well as, make capital improvements to the building, provide support in the classrooms and for our staff. 

The largest investment this year has been the purchase of new mini blinds for each of the school's classroom doors that will enhance the safety and security in our building. These blinds will be installed June of 2023 and ready for the 2023-2024 school year.
