If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.—Pat Riley Congrats to RMIS! Governors Cup Champions! Go Devils! RIS Mission: Our mission is to inspire and empower all students to reach their maximum potential: one student, one lesson, one day at a time. Keep in mind the main points discussed from District Opening Day: Things I CAN Control…
Continue to focus on the RIS four core beliefs: It’s about Kids! —Accountability—Transparency—Communication. Positives across the district…… Russell Primary School (From the desk of Mr. Cassity) Great to see little ones back in the classrooms at RPS! We had a busy week back:
Russell-McDowell Intermediate (From the desk of Mrs. Wright)
Russell Middle School (From the desk of Mr. Moore) Will Scott (8th grade) and Duncan McGinnis (6th grade) qualified for National Geography Olympiad during the History Bowl competition last weekend in Paintsville. They are eligible to complete for the national title in June in Chicago! Congrats! Last year, Ms. Francis nominated Autumn Jeffrey, to attend at National Young Leaders Conference. In the spring of 2015, she attended a nearby conference and loved her experience over the four days. As an alumna of the National Young Leaders State Conference, she was selected to attend the 2017 Presidential Inauguration Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. from January 18-22, 2017. She attended workshops, seminar discussions, and presentations associated with the inauguration to broaden their perspective on local, national, and global issues facing young people today. Russell Middle School received a grant from UCAN Inc. (United Communities to Advance our Neighborhoods) This grant is being used to bring in the exhibit- From the Emancipation Proclamation to Civil Rights Era. Russell High School (From the desk of Mrs. Chaffin)
Russell Area Technology Center (From the desk of Mr. Trimble) The students and staff made it a great week, as always, here at RATC. We are entering into our leadership conferences and competitions within the next month and they are working hard to prepare and raise money for these opportunities. This past weekend, several of our FBLA students, along with Mrs. Wilburn and Mrs. Phipps, participated in a fundraiser with the support of Pennington’s Food Fair and saw great success. We are always appreciative of the support of our community sponsors and the hard work and dedication of our students and staff here at RATC! Russell Preschool (From the desk of Mrs. Staton) We learned about Presidents this week and finding Presidents on money. We learned the value of penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. We sorted money based on value and then got to spend it in our classroom store! Finally, we completed a science experiment involving cleaning pennies! Preschoolers are feeling better and we are glad that they are back to school. :-) What’s happening at central office / district this week?
It’s a great day to be a Red Devil! Have a great week Russell! Sean
