Tomorrow, November 17th, is a very special day—it's our Principal Mrs.Kastrounis' birthday! The PTO wishes her the happiest of the birthdays and is grateful for her outstanding leadership, dedication, and tireless efforts in making our school such a wonderful community.

Please join us in celebrating her!

Here is how you can share your best wishes:

Volunteers: Drop Off Car Line Duty Coverage

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!

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!

Last Call: Lee Winter Wear

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**
