Get more involved. We’re also still looking for help with Social media/Website, Reflections, & Event Leads (Did you love trivia night or Bingo Night? Want to help plan the next one?). Maybe you can’t take on a full committee position. Just let us know what you can do & let’s do this next year together!
At the RLC Graduation Ceremony, RLC PTSA was pleased to present a $300 Scholarship to PARADE Graduating Student Oliver Stivers. Please join us in congratulating Oliver.
Thank you to the RLC PTSA Membership for making these scholarships available to RLC graduating students. If you have a graduating senior next year, look for RLC PTSA scholarship information to come out sometime in early 2026!
Note: If you (or your graduate) did not participate in the ceremony, there will still be a bag waiting for you/them at RLC.
While having a full executive board is a great start to next year, planning & successfully executing a year of programs, events, & support takes an even larger team!
Will you support RLC PTSA & RLC by filling one of the following needs?

At our General Membership Meeting, we got the pleasure of surprising Ms. Roper with a Golden Acorn Award.
About the Award: Per wastatepta.org, “The Golden Acorn Award is a very prestigious Washington State PTA award that is given out by local PTAs/PTSAs for exemplary and outstanding volunteerism and service to PTA. Honorees that receive this award, have volunteer experience at the local PTA level, in the community, and at the school and/or school district level. It is normally given out to a PTA member. Recipients receive a certificate and pin, and a contribution is made in their name to the Washington State PTA Scholarship Program that benefits students.”
Here is what we shared at the GMM:
“Ms. Roper has served as our PTSA Teacher Representative for many years. During that time, she has been committed to showing up as a voice for students and staff. Her presence creates a bridge between the building and the PTSA, so we can prioritize how to best contribute to the RLC community. This is particularly true with events. She’s always been generous with her time and energy to make events successful and fun. We can say with all certainty that Pottery Night would not go as smoothly without all of the work she does behind the scenes – taking inventory of pieces, managing pre-orders, & helping us take on one of our largest, most time-consuming, & anticipated events year after year. Not only was she instrumental with Pottery Night, this year she also scooped out ice cream, showed up in costume for our Costume walk, played Bingo with us, & made sure students participating in Read-A-Thon got little check-in prizes. She even gives up a few hours of her summers to help us plan our year ahead. She does all of this in addition to being one of our amazing educators at RLC, teaching our students & supporting families. For all of these reasons, and more, the RLC PTSA Board is honored to present Ms. Roper with a Golden Acorn Award.”
Thank you Ms. Roper!
