iReady Achievers
This week we celebrated students in each class who had worked for the most minutes in iReady and who passed the most lessons in iReady. Congratulations to all the students who received a certificate and ice cream for hard work!
Ohio and College?
Friday was college t-shirt day which is the 1st Friday of the month to promote a college awareness culture. In 6th grade lunch, students learned about OH-IO courtesy of Dr. McCaffrey!
Custodian Appreciation
October 1st was custodian appreciation. Mr. Brown (pictured 2nd from left), Mr. Gathing (not pictured), and Mr. Renfroe (not pictured) are the absolute best. RCMS is so fortunate. We showered them with gifts!
