Remember to check out our PTSA website at rmsptsa.org, and the RMS Facebook page - all of which will be updated with the latest PTSA news, programs and information. Send questions, concerns, comments or your favorite literary quotes to board@rmsptsa.org.

PTSA Reflections is a national art competition. Students have the opportunity to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works created around a theme. They begin by competing at the school level and can move up to regional, state, and national levels. Reflections submissions can be Dance, Music, Film, Photography, Visual Art and Literature. We are currently looking for a volunteer to run the school level reflections program. Learn more about the volunteer role at https://www.lwptsa.net/reflections/. email enrichment@rmsptsa.org if you are interested in helping. Multiple volunteers can work together.

Please remember, to volunteer in school, it is a REQUIREMENT to be LWSD-Volunteer-Approved. This is for the safety of our students and staff. Approval status of each volunteer is verified prior to every event.
The easy online application only takes 5-8 minutes and all you need is some personal info and an electronic copy or picture of your photo ID. However, it can take a week or more to receive your approval. Volunteer approvals are valid for two years. If you need to apply for approval for the first time or renew your approval, please submit your application as soon as possible by filling out the online application.
For more information, visit the Volunteering in LWSD page on the district’s website. There you can learn about the application process, check if your previous approval is still valid, plus other volunteer opportunities within LWSD.
