School Safety Review

As we do every year, we will be reviewing our school safety protocols on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. We don't like having to do this anymore than our students/parents like hearing about it... but it would be irresponsible to not be prepared.

We’re going to Madrid, Cordoba, and Seville in Summer 2025, and you’re invited! We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours. Please be sure to register for the informational meeting on September 17th at 7:00 pm using this link: https://bit.ly/4dNZxLd. When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

Romeo Restored

The free thrift store for students, will re-open at RHS the week of September 9. The store will be available during all RHS lunches most Tuesdays and Fridays. We have many dresses and suits for the Homecoming Dance and would love to help students find that special outfit! If you need an after school shopping time please email pamela.gedert@romeok12.org

The annual Watchdog Game, now in its 15th year, raises money to support cancer charities. The game is next Friday (September 13th). To date, the Romeo community has joined together to raise more than $760,000 to provide hope to those in need. This year's proceeds from Watchdog fundraising initiatives will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation and the Rainbow Connection.

Prior to the big game, anyone who has been touched by this awful disease is welcome to visit the Survivor’s Tent. Each visiting family will be hosted by a member of the RHS JV football team and have their picture taken. They will also receive a commemorative Watchdog book containing the stories of those who will be honored by the football, dance teams, cheer teams, and marching band. Survivors will form a tunnel to greet the Varsity football team as they take the field.

One of the highlights of this night is that all RHS students and coaches participating in the game and on the sidelines are playing/cheering in jerseys with the name of their honoree. Following the game, all are invited to be part of a group photo that will be taken mid-field, where participants will present their jerseys to their honorees.

Survivor Tent

The Survivor tent will be open at 6:00 p.m.

Survivor Tunnel

Any survivor attending the game can walk through this tunnel. This tunnel is formed prior to the start of the varsity game. Be sure to listen for an announcement being made regarding lineup time. Survivors and athletes will be walking through the tunnel at 6:45 p.m.

Watchdog Ribbon Picture

At the completion of the game, everyone is invited down on the field to take the annual Watchdog ribbon photo. The RHS Marching Band will act as the outline of the ribbon for spectators and athletes to fill in.

Senior Yearbook Pictures

Most of our seniors have gotten their senior yearbook pictures taken already by Michael Barton Studios (pictures were at RHS in early August and there was a make up day last week). If you have already done this, thank you. If you have not done this yet, there will be ONE FINAL opportunity on November 6th. Be on the look out for an email next week to get this scheduled. If this is not done, your picture will not be in your senior yearbook.
