RAUC Staff Room is All Spruced Up! 
A huge thank you to the wonderful folks who volunteered their time and talents to spruce up the staff room at RAUC. Here is a note from Alice Jarrard, who spearheaded the effort: “The teacher's lounge is clean and organized for the first time in many years, it's painted and looks much fresher, and the plants will grow....  On the FRAUC work team were the middle schoolers Emma Randall-Jarrard, Jessica and Nicole Sabatino, and the adults ended up being Michelle Sabatino, Kim Kaufmann, Michael Randall and myself, Alice Jarrard."
