Help our RJH 2027 graduates!
Parents and guardians of our 2027 RJH graduates are already hard at work, fundraising for the traditional graduation 'after party'. Please check out the flyer below to see how you can help! (Eighth grade parents, please check out the sign up opportunities in the Team Newsletter section!)
RES and RJH team up for Gather
Both Rye schools are joining forces to help our community by supporting Gather. Please send in commercially made, sealed pies on November 16 and 17, and we will get them to Gather for families in need in our community. Thank you for your support!
Honoring Veterans at RJH
On Tuesday, November 10, we will be honoring veterans at an assembly, which will feature Joe Byron from Honor Flight New England. The Honor Flight Network is a national non-profit organization that transports senior veterans to Washington DC at no cost to the individual. This allows our veterans the opportunity to visit their memorials, with a specific focus on veterans of WWII and the Korean War.
Additionally, we invite our RJH community to share your family veteran story. Please see the above information to add to our slideshow, so we can appreciate all veterans that are connected with RJH.
Our Veterans Day assembly is open to any community member who would like to attend.
Did you know the RJH Chamber Choir is performing at Carnegie Hall in June? Help out here!
Buy a wreath and help send the Rye Junior High Chamber Chorus to NYC to perform at Carnegie Hall in June 2027!
Wreaths and poinsettias will be available for local delivery or pick up at RJH on Thursday, December 3rd.
Please complete this form to order your holiday decor and support the RJH Chamber Chorus! Sale ends on Monday, November 23rd.
