Rio Norte News - November 11, 2022
A Note From the Principal
Today we observe Veteran's Day and I want to take a moment to thank anyone in our parent community that has served our country, as well as any of your loved ones that have served or given their life to ensure our freedoms. We sometimes, myself included, are guilty of taking this for granted and I am blessed today for those in my family and yours that have made this ultimate sacrifice for our country!
Next week will be busy. Quarter 2 progress reports have closed and grades will post Tuesday afternoon. PTSA is having a Jersey Mike's Fundraiser on Wednesday, the Reflections Gala is Thursday evening, and we have the 8th grade Turkey Bowl on Friday. Details for all of these events are below.
This past week our Drama Production group, the Drama Hawks, performed in the DTASC theatre competition in Manhattan Beach and received Honorable Mention in ALL four categories they performed in, placing Top Ten in each! We are very proud of them! And a big congratulations to our ASB President, Caleb Jeon, who took first place in the SCV Junior High 8th Grade Speech Contest! We were honored to send four of our amazing River Hawks, who gave fantastic speeches and we celebrate Caleb's victory as he represents Rio Norte at an upcoming SCV Business Group event to present his speech again.
We hope our students and families enjoy the three-day weekend and that you join us in taking a moment to appreciate our Veterans.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bennett
