PEP RALLY PHOTOS

Marching Band rings the Victory Bell
The Marching Band rang the Victory Bell after the pep rally last week to celebrate placing first in the New England state finals. The bell was installed in 2014 and dedicated to Michael Scarpitto, a long-time RMHS assistant principal and former English teacher who retired in 2015. It was Mr.Scarpitto's vision that the bell be rung to celebrate the successes and accomplishments of the RMHS community.

ABBY FARRELL
Congratulation to Senior Abby Farrell – She was acknowledged by the MAVCA (Massachusetts Volleyball Coaches Association) as a top player in the state. Each year, the MAVCA Coaches identify the top 50 players around the state by division and name them the ALL-STATE team. This is Abby’s second recognition of this elite award as part of the Division 2 team.
On November 21st, Abby received a plaque (picture shown) and played in a fun All Star match with fellow recipients at Westborough High School. It was a fun night of volleyball with the players, coaches, and families in attendance.
Abby will be attending Stonehill College in the fall where she will be playing volleyball.
It has been an honor to coach Abby these past four years, and I wish her the best!
Coach Hopkinson
