How Do We Get Our Child To Participate In This Program?
All 8th graders will receive on September 5th and a reminder on September 11th an invitation for them and their parents to attend an informational meeting on September 19, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. in the Rhodes Auditorium. Attendance at this meeting is mandatory to be considered for participation. At the meeting you will receive information that you can discuss as a family, and make the decision, if this is a program for your child.

Looking forward to having you attend the informational meeting and participating in one of the most rewarding events that are offered to Rhodes students. Hope to see you all there!
