Welcome to April 2015! I hope everyone enjoys their Spring Break! It is hard to
believe that we are starting the 4th (and final) Quarter of the school year.
Our Spring RTMS PTO Fundraiser has concluded. Thanks to everyone that placed an
order, and congratulations to all our top sellers.
The Rodney Thompson Middle School PTO Nominating Committee is currently
looking for interested volunteers to fill ALL positions for the 2015-2016 Executive
Board. Please consider not only being a member of the RTMS PTO next year, but also
joining the RTMS PTO Executive Board. If you are interested in serving on the
RTMS PTO Executive Board, please contact the Nominating Committee Chairperson,
