The 2009 RMLHS Sacred Christmas Concert will take place on Friday, December 11th, 7:30 PM, at Lord of Life Lutheran Church.  Students will rehearse after school at Lord of Life, and be provided a light dinner.  Students should wear dress clothes: dark colored slacks or skirts, solid shirt or top, and dress shoes.  NO sleeveless shirts, tennis shoes or jeans.

RMLHS PARENTS!  Traditionally we have a reception after the Christmas Concert each year.  The hosting church helps provide the meal for our students, and help with setup for our reception.  We are happily accepting volunteers to provide the following: 150 cups, 100 coffee cups, 200 napkins, 30 dozen goodies, punch for 160 people (this can be as simple as juice and 7up), coffe grounds, cream & sugar, and Volunteers for setup and cleanup.

Spiritwear is now available at RMLHS. To receive any items meant for Christmas gifts, the order must be placed by Friday, December 4. You can print the order form by clicking on this link.

Last Sunday, February 8^th, a special delegates meeting was held to update the delegates on the first quarter happenings at the high school. The first main point was the site committee of the Board seeking input for possible sites for a permanent location for the high school. There are many factors that weigh in on this decision, so the committee listened to the concerns and opinions of the delegates.

A second point was to present the financial condition of the school. Our enrollment is five students less than the number used for the 2009-2010 budget. That shortfall needs to be covered by additional support from individual donors or congregations. So, the Board will need to address how to encourage individuals and congregations to increase their support.

In their November meeting, the RMLHS Board of Directors voted to extend a permanent call to Mr. Lohmiller to serve as the principal of the high school. He currently is serving as the interim principal. This call is asking him to consider serving full-time in that position. You are encouraged to speak with him personally, or send an e-mail on your thoughts on whether you feel he would be the right man for the position. His e-mail address is rlohmiller@rmlhs.org.

The RMLHS Drama Club will be performing The Adventures of Robin Hood for the surounding WELS grade schools.  From Monday, November 9 through Thursday, Novemer 12, sixteen students will be traveling to Shepherd of the Valley, Zion, Christ Our Redeemer, Our Savior’s, Lord of Life and Salem to entertain. There will also be a showing for the students of RMLHS.

Our Fall Sports Awards will be this Friday night, November 6 in the library room.  Beginning at 6:30 we will have ice cream sundaes.  After everyone has gotten a dish, we will present awards to our volleyball and football players.  We should wrap up around 8:00.  We hope to see you there!
