CRMS and RFHS join forces in competition, celebration, and philanthropy

Thursday, October 8^th, at 4pm a league soccer game will be held between Colorado Rocky Mountain School and Roaring Fork High School at the CRMS campus. Over the years, CRMS and RFHS have developed a healthy spirit of competitive rivalry and friendship, as many of these players will come together in the spring to play on one combined club team. And quite often the CRMS vs. RFHS games are some of the best, and most intense, league games of the season.

This fall, the CRMS and RFHS communities were looking to strengthen inter-team ties as well as further unite the Carbondale community. For the past month, a group of students and teachers from both schools have been working together to organize this game as a community-wide event.

CRMS and RFHS will be hosting a barbecue during the game, along with a bake sale offered by a student club, Operation Smile, which raises money for child cleft palate surgeries in developing countries. RFHS's student-led club that focuses on cultural integration within the community is working on the other end to raise student interest in the event. In addition, CRMS will debut its newest student club, Face Aids, selling pins to raise money for this national organization that benefits Aids victims in Rwanda.

Both CRMS and RFHS are hoping to reach out to the families, fans, and students of both schools, creating community connections and friendships. We hope that this is just the first of many joint community events to come throughout the school year.
