19 Last Day for StudentsHello RHK8 Family,
We have a busy end of the year with many events planned. Please review the dates for events like field day, celebrations, and more. Thank you to everyone who was able to perform in and attend our talent show this week. I hope you all have a great weekend. Here's the news.
Principals for the Day
This week we had a couple of students serve as principals for the day: 3rd grader Emil Kristensen and 4th grader Haven Clark. They had the opportunity to participate in meetings, visit classrooms, supervise recesses and lunch, and help with some important decision-making. Emil wanted to let you all know that "I hope you have a great summer when the school year is over." Haven said that she "hopes you all have fun during the end of the school like doing portfolios and looking back at your memories."
