A Month of Fundraising for Oui & Sí + IT

    From February 21 through March 21, 2011, the RGMS Foundation will ramp up its fund drive for a foreign language teacher and technical support. On Saturday, March 10, join us for A Night Out for Oui & Sí + I.T., a highlight of the fund drive. Mingle with other parents, community members and staff and support this worthy cause. Check out the Foundation and Oui & Sí + I.T. webpages for more information. Our goal is to raise $26,000. We're off to a great start, with almost $7,000 in donations! Any donation is important to this effort - if every school family donates $67 we can meet our target!

Restaurant Night

    Stop by Verde Cocina, located in Hillsdale, on Wednesday, February 22nd. Have a fabulous meal and 20% of your tab will go back to Robert Gray’s PTA! Don’t forget to mention you are “dining for Robert Gray”. Verde Cocina is a farmer’s market favorite that has branched out into a café this past August. They offer farm fresh, unique Mexican food that is gluten-free and locally sourced. This fundraiser will be all day from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm. They offer breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. Dine in or take it to go. Verde Cocina is located at 6446 SW Capitol Highway. Their phone number is 503-384-2327. 
    Please pass the word on to everyone you know and come support our school and our community.

Wilson Area Family BINGO

FAMILY BINGO NIGHT, MARCH 3

Planning to Attend Wilson High School?

    Important notice to those of you who reside within the Bridlemile or West Sylvan enrollment boundary. If you are attending Robert Gray MS and are planning to go on to Wilson High School, you must fill out a form. Kids are guaranteed a spot at Wilson, but the school district needs a head count, so are asking you to fill out what they call a Return-to-Neighborhood Placement Form. It's for students who have transferred to another school but wish to return to their neighborhood school even if there are no lottery slots. Again, Return to Neighborhood transfers are guaranteed, but the form needs to be sent in by March 9.
