Good morning,

We wanted to let everyone know about the golf outing. We have had a few questions about the event, so here is some information to answer your questions:

The golf outing is on May 5th at Hazelden Country Club.

• We will have lunch from 12:00 - 1:00 pm and tee off at 1:00.
• The cost to sponsor a hole is $50.00 (This donation will go directly to the student who gets the hole sponsor.)
• The cost to play is $45.00 per person or $180.00 per team. (If a student gets a team or a person to play, then that student will receive a portion of the cost.  We have to pay the golf course first for the use of the golf course and for our lunch.)  We will know the exact cost in a few weeks.

Parent Meeting will be held in the library at 5:30 pm to discuss the latest information about the trip.  You can find out the latest balance for your student's trip account, and learn about the DC Breakfast details.  The DC Breakfast will be held on Sunday, March 4, 2012 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Rensselaer.  You will be able to pick up tickets at the meeting so that your student can begin selling their tickets.  All money paid for the tickets will go directly to a student's account for the trip, so this is a wonderful way for your student to pay for their trip. 


REMINDER: We are half way throug the year.  Students must attend 6 of the 9 morning club meetings, have a B- overall GPA in all of their 8th grade classes and a Level 3 average on the RCMS Behavior Pyramid.  You can check on your students's qualification requirements so far as well at the meeting.

We have received the confirmation of our US Capitol tour from Congressman Visclosky's office.  We will be visiting the Capitol on Friday, June 8th at 12:30 p.m. (DC time)!!!!

Parent and Student information sessions will be held to announce the trip, go over the requirements to qualify for the trip, and answer any early questions.  These sessions will be held on Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 7:30 am in Ms. Tongish's room, and on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 5:00 pm in Ms. Tongish's room.
