Week of January 10, 2022
Hello RMS Knights and Families
Our January's Honor the Castle theme is “Finishing the Semester Strong”. This week’s mindset message for the week of January 10th states "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Lunch and Learn Opportunities for 8th Graders
What is a Lunch ‘n Learn:
Lunch ‘n Learns are designed to allow students to choose a career pathway that will align their skills, interests and values with career opportunities after high school.
A Lunch ‘n Learn is an opportunity for interested Knights to spend their lunch hour eating lunch and learning about one of the Career Technical Education programs at Fraser High School.
Lunch as always is provided from the cafeteria; however, our Knights can choose to bring a lunch if you prefer.
Our 8th graders received an email from John Murray, FHS Career Navigator, with more information and a link to register for the following Lunch and Learn opportunities:
- Family Consumer Science Lunch ‘n Learn - Wednesday, January 12th

The Knight Shift will be located in the Media Center and is a time and place for students to come and spend an additional hour on getting their work done or silently reading. Students will have access to a quiet space, internet, devices, and resources that may assist them with their work.
This time is monitored by Mr. Julian or Mrs. Skladanowski. Upon arrival - students will sign-in and will record what they are working on.
Remember, this is not a time to play games on iPads/phones or to come and socialize without working (working on a project with group members is encouraged). Off task students will be removed and will be unable to attend for the remainder of the session.
Knights interested in staying after-school on those designated Tuesday(s) and Thursday(s) must be in the Media Center by 3:05pm and should plan on staying until 3:55pm. All students who stay after-school would need a ride home as late buses are not available.
