You need to bring the signed release and prize forms distributed at the awards night or picked up in Ms. Wesley's office. Students are asked to report to the Auditorium as soon as the lunch bell rings. The taping will go through lunch and might go into Period 5; the assembly is expected to last 40 minutes. It is recommended that students bring lunch from home if they plan to attend as they won't have time to buy a lunch. o ASB "Space Rave" Dance Friday The ASB Space Rave dance is this Friday, Dec. 9, from 8-11pm in the Small Gym.

Tickets are on sale in Room 202 for $10 ($7 with ASB card). Tickets must be purchased before the dance; there will be no ticket sales at the door. Only RUHS students are allowed to attend and you will need your ID both to purchase your ticket and at the door the night of the dance. o Parent Volunteers Still Needed for ASB Dance The ASB is still looking for parent volunteers for Friday's dance.
