Please join us in celebrating her!

Here is how you can share your best wishes:

As part of our holiday season giving, the RJL PTO is hosting a Thankful Breakfast for our incredible staff on Tuesday, November 18th.

We need a team of parent/adult volunteers to take over the morning drop-off duties! By helping us open car doors and manage sidewalk traffic, you will allow our staff to relax and fully enjoy their breakfast together before the school day begins.

Sign up today to give our staff a morning off from drop-off duty!

Join us for a delicious fundraiser at Raising Cane's on December 4, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM!

Whether you dine in at the restaurant or order online or through the app, Raising Cane's will donate 15% of net sales to our pto.

Here's how to participate:

• Dine-in: Mention the fundraiser when you place your order.

• Online/App Orders: Use the code RCFUND96 at checkout.

Your support helps us make a difference, and it's a great way to enjoy some tasty chicken while giving back!

Missed the order window? No problem! The PTO ordered a handful of extra hoodies. But they’re going fast, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. Grab yours while you still can to show off your school spirit staying warm and cozy all winter long!

**Delivery from our vendor is expected the week of December 10th**

Mrs. Stout would love library helpers to help shelve books and with other small projects.  Please sign up and consider becoming a regular volunteer for the library!  rjlpto.org/library

New this year, for anyone shelving books, we’ve worked with Mrs. Stout to create a quick training video you can watch before your volunteer slot! rjlpto.org/shelving
