THE WEEKLY LION UPDATE

This has been a very busy week here at RCHS!! We have so many things going on and so many things that we are getting ready for at this time. Our staff is absolutely the best around. Our custodial staff is top notch. Our cafeteria staff makes sure everything is smooth even when down people. Our office staffs keep the Admin in line and help us stay organized. The Athletic Department is all a buzz with the start of Fall sports. The support staff is amazing and our Teachers are pushing our students to get the best out of them! We have shown a lot of improvement and we will continue improving and will never settle! I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!! IT'S ALMOST MONDAY!!!

At RCHS we are proud of the fact that students can get the the Indiana College Core at no cost to our students! We offer all of the classes live, with an in person instructor. We have a dynamite staff that sets high expectations and pushes our students to be the best they can be!

Mr. Smith and his classes took on a big project this wee. They sealed all of the parking spots that were painted last year to get things ready for this years Seniors to paint there spots. The seniors will be ready to paint over Labor Day Weekend!! We will have other times for kids to paint their spots we will just work around sporting events. Thank you Mr. Smith and all the work you and your classes put in to make this a little easier on our Seniors!!

Attendance is a major focus for us this year. Chronic absenteeism is something the state wanted to get under control. Here at RCHS we have been doing everything to keep our students at school. Our kids have been responding!! We have been tracking our attendance weekly and year to date and posting it every Monday on the new attendance board in the front entry. Our goal is an overall 96% attendance rate for the year. Great job everyone getting things started off!!

Youth theater is a great way to combine the arts with logic and boost self esteem! While I'm not directing this play, I am on the board of directors for Rushville Regional Theatre and will have a bit of involvement. RCHS Alumna Carrie Wilson Billman is directing, and she is fantastic with kids! With your help, I hope we can reach students who need a creative outlet, need a group of friends to call their own, and just like to have fun!
