It’s all about writing what you know, as they say. So, since it’s Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re stepping back several decades to show some appreciation for RFH teachers we knew and some of their teaching moments, profound or not, that stuck with us.

Reprise! Just because … Let’s hear it for spring fever and waiting for the sun to reappear!

A reprise originally posted in June of 2019 just because … it’s post-pandemic prom time …
Well, it’s Junior Prom time at RFH. We know that some prom traditions prevail. Others do not.
