Latest News from RLC PTSA:
Below are some important reminders for the week of October 26th-29th.
READ-A-THON: The last day to record minutes was Friday, 10/23. Please return your Read-A-Thon Forms by Thursday, October 29th. Prizes will be based on minutes read, not donations. If we reach the all-school fundraising goal of $500, we’ll have a school-wide celebration! Your donation(s), no matter how big or small, help us fund part of our movie license, senior scholarships, and more! THANK YOU!
MOVIE NIGHT: The Super Mario Galaxy World: Join us next Thursday October 29th for an out of this world adventure with Mario and the whole gang. Doors open at 5:30. Movie begins at 6:00 pm. Bring your comfiest setups (chairs, pillows, blankets, etc.) and enjoy FREE popcorn courtesy of Regal Bella Bottega. Water will also be available. Special thanks to Eastside Property Solutions for sponsoring our movie licensing and making this FREE event possible! For questions or to request additional accommodations, please email rlcptsa@gmail.com.
Fundraising Goals: Our goal is to raise $500 as a school. These funds will help cover licensing fees for our movie nights. Any extra funds raised will go toward supporting other RLC PTSA programs that align with our mission. Every student is encouraged to read and celebrate their progress, regardless of how much money they raise.
Prizes: Yes, there will be prizes! The top reader in each group (K-2nd, 3rd-4th, 5th-8th, and 9th-12th) will receive a $10 gift card*. The second top reader will receive a $5 gift card*. *Students may choose from: CC’s Espresso and Ice Cream, Kelsey’s Koffee, Darci’s Dinky Donuts or Starbucks. Prizes will not be based on donations raised.
Donations & Matching: RLC PTSA is a registered non-profit organization. Some employers offer donation matching programs. Ask your donors to check if their employers will match their gifts and help double their impact.
Donate: Online donations can be made here: Donate to Read-A-Thon.
Forms: Additional forms can be found on the front desk at RLC. Alternatively, you can download additional forms here: Read-A-Thon Sheets.
Please email rlcptsa@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. Thank you!
Today, October 5th, is your last chance to PreOrder Pottery for our Pottery Event in November. Visit this link to submit order + payment by end of day: Pottery PreOrder.
Why are we asking you to purchase now when the event isn’t until November? We need time to order the pieces and have them arrive by our event date(s).
The best part of preordering? You know the pieces you want will be waiting for you whenever you arrive! You can still purchase additional pieces at the event. Plus every piece you purchase helps RLC PTSA continue our mission of supporting the RLC Community.
Our annual Pottery Event is coming up! Pre-Ordering for larger and more elaborate bisqueware pieces opens today, September 24th, through October 5th. Find the order form and instructions here: 2026 Pre-Order Form or scan the QR code on the flyer below.
There will also be plenty of bisqueware pieces to choose from at the event, from little tots to dinnerware to figurines and more. Pre-ordering is a great option if you’d like to create a larger or more detailed piece for a gift, home décor, or simply for the joy of creating!
2026 POTTERY PRE-ORDER OPTIONS
Pre-Orders are due by end of day on October 5th and must be paid in advance. Many pre-order pieces will not be available for purchase at the event. Your pre-ordered pieces will be reserved for your family and available at the Pre-Orders Table.
2026 Pottery Event Details
NEW this year: We’re offering two different days and times to participate, so you can choose the option that works best for your family—or join us for both!
- Thursday: November 19 | 5–8 PM | MPR
- Friday: November 20 | 9–11 AM | MPR
RLC PTSA provides all materials needed to paint your pottery. All painting must be completed during the event. We’ll handle glazing, firing, and wrapping, with finished pieces ready for pickup before Winter Break.
If you have questions, please email rlcptsa@gmail.com.
Interested in an opportunity to support RLC Staff? RLC PTSA is proud to sponsor the RLC Staff Snack Cart, a “staff perk” we started around two years ago to provide a little pick-me-up for our wonderful staff throughout the school year! We’d love to continue this tradition and could use your help keeping the cart stocked.
The snack cart is refilled at the beginning of each week, September–June, and we welcome donations throughout the year so we have items on hand to restock as needed. Please consider donating one of our regularly stocked items, or feel free to donate other shelf-stable snacks you think our staff might enjoy. You can sign up at any time: Staff Snack Cart Sign Up.
Here are some of the usuals:
Donation Details:
- Donations may be dropped off in the donation bin in the RLC lobby area. If needed, item pick up can be arranged.
- All items must be shelf stable.
- Individually wrapped items preferred.
- Please consider including gluten-free and nut-free options.
Don’t have time to shop? Let us do it for you! You may donate funds to go towards the purchase of snack items.
- Donate at rlcptsa.givebacks.com. Choose the ‘Donate Now’ product and specify Staff Snack Cart as the intended donation purpose.
- Drop off cash or a check made out to RLC PTSA in the RLC PTSA Drop Box located in the RLC lobby. Please use an envelope provided on top of the drop box and specify Staff Snack Cart.
