RAIDER REPORT April 6, 2015 Volume III ✦ Number 29 MAJOR EVENTS PRINCIPALS’ NOTES I hope everyone enjoyed their three-day holiday weekend. We have another slate of exciting activities scheduled this week at Robert E. Lee High School; of which one is our campus beautification project taking place on Saturday. Representatives from our REL PTA, student body, maintenance department, and campus administration have collaborated to re-sod the Memorial Courtyard area at Robert E. Lee HS the morning of Saturday, April 11th (weather permitting). Community volunteers and supporters of REL are encouraged to participate in the event. We will be installing approximately 40 pallets (17,500 sq. ft.) of sod to improve the overall appearance and functionality of our courtyard area. Red Raiders Rising!
