Good Sunday evening to everyone!
Our middle and high school band programs had a very successful week at WKU this past week. The 7th and 8th grade band received a Proficient rating for their performance with the high school band earning a Distinguished score. Congratulations to these students, along with our band director, Brian Brown, for the accomplishments of both these programs. Brian Brown and many of these students will now turn their attention to our annual musical production. This year the RHS Drama department will be performing Mary Poppins. Shows begin on May 9th and continue through the next weekend. Plan to come for an evening of entertainment while supporting these students!
The 2nd Annual Kelly Russell Classic was held that past weekend in honor of former Panther baseball player, Kelly Russell. Mrs. Joanne Russell Bennett, his sister, visited from Colorado and was here to throw out the first pitch on Friday evening.

The 2015 RHS Prom will be held this coming Saturday at the Historic Train Depot in Bowling Green. Transportation to and from the event will be required and provided by the school. Charter busses will begin leaving at approximately 6:30. Please be sure to be at school by 6:15 to ensure you arrive in time. We will be returning to the high school at approximately 11:00 on Saturday evening. Again, I want to make sure everyone understands that transportation must be provided. Students cannot drive themselves to Bowling Green for the event.
*Any parents wanting to help with decorations should contact Mrs. Fynboe for more details.
Mark Thompson, our Josten’s Rep will be at the school this week to deliver senior items. Postcards were mailed to students showing outstanding balances. We still have outstanding Senior fees that need to be paid as soon as possible so that we can continue planning for senior week activities. Please send $ 75 to cover the fees to Mrs. Fynboe.
Mrs. Jennifer Rogers will be traveling with a group of RHS students this week to Washington DC. These students will be competing in the National History Bowl as a result of a 1st place finish early in the year.
