RES Weekly Buzz
We have enjoyed learning about the wonderful service projects our 5th graders have participated in. Thank you to Mrs. Trumbour and the 5th graders; our students are learning more about what it means to do good things for others and positively impact the world. Thank you also to the families who have helped along the way! We look forward to hearing their thoughts on these great experiences and the impact being a good citizen has had on them.
This is the third week our new "Coffee Cart" serves the RES staff. This idea was brought about by Mrs. Hurley, who has collaborated with our adjustment counselors, Mrs. Simon and Ms. Hersey, among others, to bring it to fruition. This is a time when a few students can practice social skills with staff each week as they "sell" them coffee and snacks from the cart under the guidance of teachers. This has been an excellent addition to RES; and we are grateful to Mrs. Hurley for bringing it about and the staff supporting our students.
Congratulations to RPS students participating in Shrek Jr., The Musical. They are doing a fantastic job in their roles, and we are so proud of each of them. Special SHOUT OUT to our 5th graders who are taking part as well! We know they will continue to shine in this weekend's performances.
Happy weekend. We hope the next few days bring fun, rest, and relaxation.

Attention Parents! Anna Drost, a senior at RHS, is working with Ms. Favazza at the middle school on creating an afterschool STEM Workshop Series for RMS students that will run this winter.
