✨ Eagle Wing Winners! ✨
This week, we celebrated not one—but two groups of Eagle Wing winners! With next week being a short week, we drew names on both Thursday and Friday.
Students who demonstrate our RCS Character Strengths—Grit, Leadership, Respect, Responsibility, and Thankfulness—can earn an Eagle Wing throughout the week. Their wings are placed in the Eagle Wing box, and winners are drawn regularly to recognize those who continue to SOAR.
Congratulations to all of our amazing students for showing what it means to be an RCS Eagle! 🦅💙

🌿 Kindergarten Adventure at Presque Isle! 🌿
Our Kindergarten students had a wonderful adventure at Presque Isle today! They explored nature on a scenic hike, discovered local plants and wildlife, spotted a beaver dam and deer tracks, and even checked fish traps — finding both fish and turtles! 🐢🐟
The day wrapped up perfectly with a picnic lunch in the park. Our students demonstrated incredible respect and grit, and the park guides even complimented them on being such a kind, curious, and well-behaved group. 💚

Kindergarten started learning all about writing partners yesterday and how they can help make our books even better. They shared a book they are working on with a partner, received feedback, and then went back to their seat to revise their work!
