The Prowler
Week of April 17, 2023
From Mr. Moreno's Desk:
Teachers, Staff, Parents, and Students,
Last week marked the end of the 5th Six Weeks! Believe it or not, there are only six weeks left in the 2022-2023 school year! That said, we continue to celebrate many great things happening at Rio Hondo Middle School! Our students have done a phenomenal job in extra-curricular events as you will see from the highlights in this newsletter. Currently teachers are working diligently on preparing our students well for the upcoming STAAR Assessments. Advisory periods have been revamped to provide our students with the extra support needed to target specific skills.
Parents...please be reminded that we are just weeks away from administering the STAAR Assessments. We are holding Saturday Academies to provide extra assistance to students needing the help. There are two more Saturday Academies scheduled: April 22 and April 29.

InSights Art Competition
Three of our RHISD students participated in the InSights Art Competition, an international art contest open to artists of all ages with vision loss. This popular program reflects The American Printing House for the Blind (APH) mission to promote the independence of people who are blind or visually impaired by encouraging artists to create original works. Huge shout out to Stephanie McIver and Ms. Dina Garza, RHMS Art teacher for volunteering of their time to work with these students. With their assistance they were able to create some beautiful masterpieces. Students artwork has been shipped to Kentucky and now to await results coming in by the end of April 2023!

“Say hello to the custodian, hold the door for people, pick up trash off the floor, be kind even when people are rude or mean, set a good example for your students whenever you can. Teach them that even the smallest acts of kindness are contagious. Teach them that we all control the future, one choice and one small act at a time.” @Bored_Teachers
Flip your mindset. Rather than see things as happening “to you” begin to see things happening “for you.” Every interaction, every experience, every moment of your day is progress towards a life lived without regret and a life fulfilled. #Culturize @casas_jimmy
