RAIDER REPORT - Robert E. Lee High School

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.

outstanding plan that was well-executed by our staff members.
