Principal’s Message
Today, you will be receiving a packet of information for our upcoming auction fundraiser which will be
happening on Friday evening, November 21st. This year's theme will be all about fairytales and we are
in full preparation mode with creating decorations, planning fun games and activities, finalizing
arrangements for food, and many other details. Each year, this auction fundraiser helps us to ensure
that critical educational programs are financially supported at RCV, including: our local summer school
program, enhanced use of technology within the classrooms, and other important instructional best
practices. It is my hope that this year's fundraiser is the most successful ever and that means that I hope
many of your will join us on the evening of November 21st for a night of fun and fundraising. Even if you
can't join us that evening, you can place advanced bids on items in our extensive silent auction and also
have your child purchase raffle tickets for a chance to participate in fun activities with teachers. Some of
these activities include: lunch dates, manicures, bowling, ice skating, and much more! Participating in
this fundraiser is a great way to show support for our school and ensure that we can continue to
enhance the educational program for all children at our school. I know that I am excited for this special
event -- only two weeks to go and I look forward to seeing all of you at this fun, exciting, and important
event.
