Good Sunday afternoon to all! I certainly hope that you have been able to enjoy this beautiful day in some capacity.
The Russellville Jr/Sr Prom will be held next Saturday, April 30th, from 7:30-11:00 at the high school. We will be working this work to transform our lobby and gym into a Hollywood-themed, red carpet gala! Tickets are still available and can be purchased for $70 per couple or $35 for singles. Tickets must be purchased prior to Saturday night. If a student is planning on bringing a non-RHS student to the event, we must also have our guest paperwork in order before those individuals will be admitted. If a student needs another form, please see Mrs. Fynboe! We are still in need of golf carts with backseats. If you know of someone who wouldn’t mind us using those on Saturday evening, please let me know. As students are driven to the red carpet area on Saturday evening, they will be announced as they prepare toDia enter the prom. Parents are welcome to come and act as the “paparazzi” in our designated areas. The doors will officially close at 8:30 and will not reopen until Prom ends at 11:00. If a student needs to leave during that time, a parent/guardian must come and sign him/her out. This should be limited to emergencies only.
