Winter Ball Gown Closet

There are still several ball gowns available for any Oaks Rhetoric School ladies who are looking for a lovely dress for the upcoming Winter Ball. These gowns are free for the taking and available on the clothing racks in the ladies' locker room. If the gown fits, it's hers to keep (or donate back next time)! We hope this is a blessing to the giver and receiver alike. Please contact Mrs. Teri Woodroof if you have any questions.

Protocol Meal Choice & Transportation Form - Due Fri., Jan. 13

All Rhetoric students (and participating parents) should complete the "Protocol: Meal Selection & Transportation Plan" form within Jupiter no later than Friday, January 13. This form is under the student account, therefore your child will need to complete the form under their own account. 

Meal Selections: This year's entree selections are either Char-Grilled Filet Mignon, Northwest King Salmon, or Spinach & Wild Mushroom Gnocchi. Students will also enjoy appetizers, salad, and dessert as a part of their meal.

Transportation/Parking: The Spokane Club has garage parking available for our use at this event. Due to limited parking spaces, however, the Protocol Committee would like to know each student's transportation plans for the evening to plan accordingly. Carpooling is highly encouraged to limit the number of vehicles. Parents dropping their children off may pull up alongside the front door (no parking needed).
