Today we celebrated these Eagle Wing winners! Way to represent RCS' character strengths!


Students in grades K-6 kicked off the “Hit the Trails and Parks Program” this week. Students will take their first hike on the school property learning about the benefits and etiquette of hiking in the outdoors. The first hike will count as the first of five hikes required to earn a medal and certificate for participating in this program. Although most grades will have two completed at school by the end of this school year, some will need to be done as a family to successfully complete this challenge. Students and parents are also eligible for prizes including helmets, bikes, Wegmans gift certificates, and other cool prizes. More details will be coming soon with information about the trails and how to submit your completion! Stay tuned!
