Good Morning, Everyone,

We hope all is well and you are enjoying your weekend, in spite of the cold weather.  First, make sure that you have moved your clocks ahead an hour!

Below is the link to this week’s Pathways Newsletter.  In this week’s edition, there are stories about the RMHS Jazz Band winning a gold medal at the MAJE Regional Event, the great job by our Parker students in their musical this past weekend, a story about a howling good time at Parker, and an article about making classrooms and schools safe for introverts.  There are also several photos from RMHS, Joshua Eaton, Parker, and RISE.

There are a significant amount of positive school events going on in our district during this month and it is because of the hard work and dedication of our teachers, staff, and administrators and the support from our parents.  Thank you for what you do each and every day for our students.

Have a great rest of the weekend and week ahead!

Take care.

With this victory, the team will compete in the National Science Olympiad at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio in May.  Congratulations to the students, coaches, and parents for all of their hard work!
