The RCS Tennis Courts will be closed for the winter season starting Sunday, October 29, 2023. Courts will reopen once the weather breaks in the spring. Thank you.
Last Thursday, we were blessed with wonderful weather, courtesy of Mother Nature. Our Fall Fest was a resounding success, and we extend our gratitude to Knight Farms for their generous donation of pumpkins. We'd also like to thank all the dedicated individuals whose hard work made this event possible! The kids had a blast:)
Sixth-grade students ventured outside of their comfort zones this past Friday. Students embarked on a tree-climbing adventure and experienced the rush of riding the mountain coaster at Holiday Valley. We look forward to reading their reflections on this unforgettable trip!
The PK3 students had a blast at today's Fall Fest, engaging in a range of delightful autumn activities. They had a hands-on experience with pumpkin guts, stomped grapes, and even rolled pumpkins. It's safe to say that everyone had an absolute blast!
The sixth-grade students have been incorporating the use of a story arc as a guiding framework in their Writer's Workshop, aiding them in crafting compelling personal narratives. Great job scholars!
Second-grade students embarked on an exciting Fall Adventure as they visited Harvest View Greenhouses. They relished the season by participating in a variety of engaging fall-themed activities, which encouraged them to step out of their comfort zones and explore the wonders of autumn.

This morning, we recognized the following students for their outstanding achievement in earning Eagle Wings. Congratulations to all, and please continue your excellent work!
Grade 1 kicked off their first science unit on sound this week by playing a sound guessing game. Students listened to a mystery sound and held up a picture card of what object they thought made the sound. Students explored each object afterwards. Great job scholars!
Grade 6 students are currently learning about the fascinating world of ecosystem dynamics, and are exploring the flow of energy and matter. Today marked the beginning of an exciting project where students took their first steps in crafting their very own miniature ecosystems.
Over the weekend, students from RCS visited SUNY Fredonia, where they participated in the WNY Girls in Sports event. This exciting occasion provided our students with a diverse array of sporting experiences, including lacrosse, volleyball, basketball, and softball.
The following students were recognized for demonstrating the Ripley Character strengths this morning. Keep up the good work!
Mrs. Gestwicki's class celebrated their writing with a gallery walk featuring each child's favorite piece. First grade scholars walked around the room, immersed in the ambiance of classical music, while reading their classmates' books. We have some serious first grade writers!
Grade 3 students are currently learning about force and motion during their science lessons. They recently engaged in a hands-on learning experience by constructing marble roller coasters. This activity explored the fundamental concepts of gravity and friction. Great job!
Tomorrow is school picture day! Blue Shirt Friday has been cancelled for this week. Please have students dress for their school pictures. Thank you.
