Each week I will highlight some of our opening day themes: Vision Statement #6—Our Culture inspires leadership and excellence. 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. 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)
Russell-McDowell Intermediate (From the desk of Mrs. Wright)
Russell Middle School (From the desk of Mr. Moore)
Russell High School (From the desk of Mrs. Chaffin)
Russell Area Technology Center (From the desk of Mr. Trimble) Students from our marketing program had the opportunity on Friday evening to travel to Kings Island to participate in their Marketing Education Day. Students had the chance to attend the seminar led by members of the theme park’s marketing team, joining other students from around Ohio and Kentucky. They were then given some time to enjoy the park before their return home. The marketing program is still new to our school, but in its short time it has given our students a different perspective on the business world through engaging with the community. We appreciate Mrs. Phipps searching for new opportunities for these students that they can use to enhance the learning that takes place in their classroom. Russell Preschool (From the desk of Mrs. Staton) Some Preschool classes made the trip to Imel's this week! We always have a wonderful time!! We discussed pumpkins, all of the things we saw at Imel's, and fed the goats!! We also focused on the standard KECS Math 1.2.1: Recognizing some basic shapes. We looked for shapes down the hallway, outside, on the playground, etc. We made shapes out of candy corn! We also made shape monsters using different colors of construction paper with cut out circles, rectangles, squares, and triangles. One of our kids wanted to cut her circle in half to make ears so we talked about a half circle, which was a great learning experience for them! Mrs. Grizzle's new materials from our Area Education Grant, Being Unique Makes Us Complete, sparked a lot of interest in the dramatic play center this week. Our students named their new friends Frankie, Jack, and Penelope. The conversations & vocabulary development that occurred as a result of the materials included how we are all unique but the same in many ways, mutual respect, & caring for our neighbors!! Thank you Area Education Grants & PNC Bank for making this project a reality!! 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
