RPA Family,
I want to send another heartfelt thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Theo Dahl for our recent Roald Dahl Day on Friday, March 29th. Their generosity towards our literacy and technology programs over the years has benefited each of our students and their love of reading. This year, the festival raised over $10,000 toward our programs!
In addition to the Dahl Family, many of you sponsored and assisted with the planning, set up, volunteering during the event, and clean up. Without your support and commitment to RPA, the festival would not have reached such a high level of success.
Thank you again on behalf of RPA’s faculty and administration!
In His service,
Scott J. Baier
Head of School

Students were required to make a statue of that famous American using different materials and accessories that would help enhance a 2-liter bottle to look like their famous person. They were also required to write a brief description of their famous American and speak about it to the class.
