Quick Note
We’re deep into fall learning and routines. Thank you for partnering with teachers and PTA to keep momentum strong.
Book Fair
The 2025 RCF Book Fair is coming soon!
This fun event helps the PTA donate newly-released books to the Media Center and to the school community, and helps us raise funds for other important PTA initiatives. We need many volunteers to make this event a success.
