Give a Gown: December 18-20   Get a Gown: Wednesday, January 8

The RHS PTSA is proud to announce the “Gowns Going Green” initiative to help keep RHS graduation gowns out of the landfills and help them get recovered, reused, and repurposed!

The PTSA will pilot the program this year to determine interest and feasibility and we hope you will help us make it succeed!
