Rocket Madness will go on tonight as scheduled!
Last week on Wednesday and Thursday, all RCHS homerooms participated in a school-wide week of service!
Decided by the students in each homeroom, the service projects fell into one of four themes: School Service, Community Care, Gratitude, and Kindness. All were planned, organized, and completed by the students. Although some of these projects may seem small, they all show how we can make a difference! What a great way to complete the week before Thanksgiving!
