•   Jogging for the Arts was a big success.  Thanks to all who supported the event.  JFTA raised $10,000 for Rio’s art programs.  Without this money, we wouldn’t be able to have art & music at the school.  If you see Nina Kinkead or Carole Anne Kessler around campus or town, be sure to tell them thanks!
