East Elementary Families - There was a natural gas leak at the meter outside after school was dismissed today. The natural gas has been turned off to the building and is not a safety threat at this time. The lunch menu will change since the building does not have hot water, but everything else should be business as usual. Lunch tomorrow will be sandwiches for all students. Thank you!

Schedule is out for the RCHS volleyball tournament this weekend, Go Buffs!
