“I’ve got a crack on my shoulder, not a chip. It’s not to prove to other people I can do something. It’s to prove to myself that I can change lives.” –PJ Fleck (Head Football Coach at the University of Minnesota) Each week I will highlight some of our opening day themes: Constant pursuit of the extraordinary, not ordinary. Constant pursuit of unusual, not usual. Constant pursuit of being the best, not average. 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) RPS has had an outstanding week:
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) We had another great week at the Russell Area Technology Center! Students have completed their safety training and testing and have now started the hands-on work within our courses. Some of our highlights from the week included:
Russell Preschool (From the desk of Mrs. Staton) Preschoolers are quickly settling into the daily routine. We are learning to follow the procedures and to make good choices. We are also learning to be a good friend. Mrs. Snyder's class talked about cicadas and a friend brought one for us to see! We are also learning how to use pictures and our own words to retell a story. We integrated visual arts with literature and created monsters like the monsters in the story “Where the Wild Things Are”. 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
