🥕🍓 February Fitness for Kids Challenge! 🍎🥑
This month, our goal is to eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day, and our 4th graders jumped right in by hosting a fun and flavorful tasting day! Students sampled a variety of fresh choices including mango, plums, gummy bear grapes, kiwi, avocado, sweet peppers, and sugar snap peas.
After tasting, everyone voted for their favorites… and the winner was gummy bear grapes, with plums coming in a very close second! 🍇🏆
A big thank you to Independent Health Foundation for supporting this exciting (and delicious!) opportunity for our students to explore healthy foods. Way to go, 4th grade! 🌟

We will see everyone when we return from Mid-Winter Recess on February 23rd - the 100th day of school!
❄️☀️ What a beautiful day for a winter adventure!
Our Kindergarten students made the most of the sunshine and fresh air by heading outside for snowshoeing fun. They trekked through the snow, explored nature, and showed off their adventurous spirits. To top it all off, everyone enjoyed delicious s’mores together — the perfect sweet ending to a great day!
We love seeing our youngest learners making memories, staying active, and embracing the outdoors all year long. 💙

🎯 Archery Success! 🎯
This past Monday, students from Ripley and Chautauqua Lake proudly attended the Global Concept Chapter School National Archery in Schools State qualifying event in Lackawanna, NY.
Fourteen archers competed—many for the very first time—and every single one achieved a personal best score! Even more impressive, five archers qualified for the NASP New York State Championships, which will be held in Syracuse this March.
We couldn’t be prouder of their focus, determination, and hard work.
👏 Great job, archers! 👏

Have a happy holiday season!
This week, we had an Eagle Wing explosion! With all of the fun holiday activities taking place, we decided to select multiple Eagle Wing winners. Students were called down on Monday, December 15 to celebrate their achievements.
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 truly means to be an RCS Eagle! 🦅💙
