Rimrock Cross Country Starting Strong
This year’s Cross Country teams are off to a great start. We have full girls and boys teams for High School and Middle School has a full boys team but has only 2 girls for the girls’ team. Melissa Raymond is returning to coach both MS and HS. They had their first meet on Wednesday, September 2nd in Hazelton.

Bibbity bobbity boo. This year's new teachers are a dream come true. We have received a great addition to our staff. Meet our new history teacher Mr.Griggs, he’s a cursive loving guy and loves to listen to the song Billy the Kid. Also introducing Mrs.Malika, she is our new Dean of Students, she's a sweetheart and super funny. She enjoys helping students and she even loves to discipline them :). Our new counselor, Mrs.Abbott, does an amazing job. She has loads of kids coming in and out of her room and still manages to end the day with her beautiful smile! You can talk to her about anything, including how you're feeling, about your schedule, etc. Last but probably not least ! We have Mrs. Lacey, an amazing science teacher. She is fantastic at what she does and knows exactly how to make you smile. We are very proud of our new staff members, and are excited to see them grow with all of us as students.

Tricky, Tricky, Tricky
This year for volleyball is going to be very tricky. Not just because the volleyball team lost their senior setter Laura Gasper but with COVID also making things difficult. COVID has changed the way the team dresses, the way they eat food, and how they interact with the other team. No longer able to change into their uniform at opponents schools, they must be dressed before getting on the bus. Also, the team has to plan out what to eat for their dinner before the game because they can no longer stop and eat on the fly. They must either pack a dinner, have their parents bring a dinner, or order from a restaurant beforehand. And unlike the normal congratulations at the end of the game, they “smile and wave… just smile and wave”.
In spite of all of the trickiness, our Raider girls are ready to take on all comers; be that other teams or COVID itself!
