Appreciate our Amazing RHS Staff ...with a Pie!

It's almost Pi Day, so be sure to order your pies and treat our RHS staff to a pie at the same time. What better way to honor our AMAZING staff than by donating a delicious pie for Pi Day. 

Show our teachers and staff just how much they are appreciated!

Choose from Bumbleberry Pie, Cherry Pie, Granny Smith Apple Pie, or Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie! Each 9" pie is handmade and frozen to keep it fresh. And this year, we have a limited supply of Gluten-Free options, too! These pies are smaller but just as delicious.

Pie sales close this Friday, March 1, so don't delay! Your pie will be ready for pick-up on Wednesday, March 13 between 11am-2pm! Order at this link.

On Wednesday, February 14, RHS Staff were greeted with a little Valentine’s Day treat from the PTSA to start their mid-winter break off right. Huge shout-out to Laura, Peggy, Lisa, and Tracey for crafting these delightful creations to show our staff how much they are appreciated for all the work they do each and every day.
