About RHA

Parents' Association

At the core of the RHA community is the Parents’ Association (PA). They are dedicated parents who generously (and tirelessly) volunteer their time and talents to enhance our school and make RHA a joyful experience. The PA are our partners in supporting the educational experience and environment for our students and staff.
The PA helps deepen Jewish holiday experiences by providing traditional foods and treats. They prepare Mishloach Manot for Purim and provide Lulavim and Etrogim at Sukkot. They arrange for Shabbat Challahs to go home each Friday with our children and organize the school lunch program – everything from (kosher) pizza and hot dogs to sushi and salads. The PA helps support our library through an incredible annual book fair. Their activities and efforts raise funds so they can offer and organize more programs, events and equipment.
 
The PA is a big part of the reason RHA is known for our close-knit community, creating a richness of spirit and depth of commitment that infuses the entire culture of our school. The PA partners with the Head of School and Principal to discuss new programs and initiatives happening at school.

All RHA parents are invited to attend our monthly PA meetings, join us and get involved in the RHA community!
