Happy Friday, Raven families,

Please join me in wishing our RTA CYSF students, as well as Ms. Burkell, all of the successes in tomorrow’s metal presentations! Have a great weekend and enjoy the warm weather!​ 

Attention all 2024 Raven Volleyball Players: 

• As RTA’s volleyball season came to an end, prior to March Break, we would like to celebrate the successful season. We will be hosting a Potluck Style Volleyball Wrap-Up Party after school on Thursday, April 25th from 3:45 – 5:00. This celebration will be for all volleyball athletes on both the junior and senior teams. Students are encouraged to bring a dish or a treat to share. In addition to enjoying delicious food, we will also be playing some volleyball to show off all of the skills athletes learned during the season. The winning team of this mini-tournament will challenge the coaches during an upcoming lunch period.
• Also, if your child has not yet returned their jersey, please have your child bring their jersey to the Wrap-Up Party.
