A NOTE FROM SUSAN

Dear RNS Parents,

It's been wonderful to see so many of your faces around campus for Check-ins with your teachers! This issue of the LBN is packed with important information and links about upcoming programs, holiday events and fundraising...! We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday ahead, and as a reminder there is NO SCHOOL beginning on Wednesday-Friday next week. Have a great weekend!

Warmly,
Susan
