March 2019 Volume 1, Issue 7

Welcome to the arrival of the month of March and the anticipation of sunshine and warmer weather. We are now in the third

marking period and it is hard to believe how quickly 100 days of school have come and gone. We enter the second half of the year with excitement and the desire to promote the love of learning for all students. Teachers, parents, and administrators share the understanding and communicate to students the message that it is continuous practice and effort that creates success. This is not true only in school, but in all aspects of life. The reality is that excellence is the gradual result of always working and striving to do better. Working together we can keep all students on the path towards successful futures.

The month of March is just the start of an exciting spring here at RCS. There are many wonderful opportunities for our students to demonstrate their awesome talents and to make us smile while we wait for daffodils and green grass. Some of the upcoming events this month are the All-County Festival, Pops Concert, Sullivan County Elementary Art Show, the Drama Production, The Jr. Iron Chef Competition and of course spring sports.

Please continue to view the RCS Facebook page and see the awesome learning and very talented students that are at our school.

Enjoy the last few days of winter and make a plan for a successful spring.

The 2017-2018 RCS STEAM Team is a group of students that find a problem in the school or community and solve it through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. The 2017-2018 team consisted of Alisha Trautschold, Breanna Kipp, John Michael Madera and Kia Haering and coach Mrs. Griebel. They decided that the problem at RCS was students not having a pencil when they got to class. They solved this problem by designing a pencil dispenser for the students to use. We are excited to announce that it is completed and in use in the upstairs hallway.

Lights. Paintbrushes. Action! RCS artists Emily and Samantha, with some extra help from Cole, have been hard at work designing scenery for the local

The Saturday Youth Basketball program recently completed its 3rd successful season. During the 8 weeks, the participants had a lot of fun learning the basics of the game, including dribbling, passing, shooting, rebounding and defense. The skills are taught and practiced in a station format and then reinforced through fun games and challenges, with scrimmages at the end of each session. This year we even incorporated our own version of the NBA’s All Star festivities to coincide with the All Star

weekend. This included a skills challenge, shooting contest and our volunteers even entertained the kids with an exciting slamdunk contest.

We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in helping to make this program a success, including the RCS PTA, administration and Board of Education, as well as Coach Ahart, Mr. & Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Ebeling, Erick “B” Hill, Ty Engle, Nik Breihof, Alex Rosario, Marc Santiago, Aaron Steele, KJ Feeney, Samantha Teipelke, Brendan Ryder, Alaniz Ruiz, Ben Ackerly, Nick Hill and Dan Clancy. We would also like to thank all of the parents for bringing their children each week and the kids for coming out to have fun and learn the finer

points of basketball. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
