R-PHS was the host for this year’s No More Sidelines valentine’s dance this past Saturday night.  R-P parent, Mrs. Cyndi Blair, is co-founder of No More Sidelines, a nonprofit organization that provides children and young adults with special needs an opportunity to participate in events that all kids should have access to.

Nearly 200 people enjoyed a catered dinner, received free photographs, prizes and of course danced the wax off the floor.  A few photos of the evening are presented below:

A special thanks to R-P juniors Hannah Forner and Courtney Cave for their time taking the digital photographs for all the kids and their families.  You two Rock!

Another special thanks goes out to Mr. Mrs. Forner, Mr. & Mrs. Blair and the Blair family for all the work they did in converting our cafe into a beautiful dance hall.
