This year, for our Manufacturing Day, we sent sixteen RCHS students to learn more about TRANE, COPELAND, INTAT, and CORTEVA. Potential careers and opportunities were a major emphasis. We would like to thank Leslie Shaul, senior manager of workforce development, for organizing this event. We are grateful to be able to provide our students with a variety of learning opportunities! We hope that experiences like this will broaden their horizons and give them valuable insights into future careers.

Eighth-grade ELA students at Benjamin Rush Middle School read and analyzed a short biography about Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, and then connected the events from her life to the themes of Frankenstein. Next, each student was given a piece of a larger puzzle, featuring a question about Shelley’s biography. After answering, they colored their piece, and when assembled, the pieces revealed a striking image of Frankenstein’s monster.

After having to reschedule the Kindergarten class's field trip to Tuttle's Orchard Mother Nature finally cooperated for the second attempt. The day was filled with lots of fun and excitement as they wrapped up everything they had been learning about apples! Thank you to our parent chaperones, teachers, and our parent-teacher organization for helping to make this a great day! None of this would be possible without our amazing community!

Boomer the mascot from the Indiana Pacers visited Arlington Elementary for an assembly about bullying prevention! The kids loved Boomer's hilarious skits, and their jaws dropped as he soared through the air with his mind-blowing dunks. Everyone was able to take away the crucial reminder that we all have the power to create a kinder, more compassionate community!

We have selected some fun photos of the festivities that took place in all of our buildings on Halloween. Below is a short gallery featuring some of our favorite photos. To find more photos from Halloween, please visit our various school Facebook pages!
