We will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15) to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success.

For the month of September the UP class worked on their good behavior both in the classroom and around the school by advocating for themselves, staying on task, and using nice words. On October 1st the UP class got to make Lemonade from scratch in reward for having good behavior in September!

Thank you to our wonderful Custodial Staff. We appreciate you everyday!

The Raiders played host to the Clover Eagles and lost a tough battle 21-6. The Raiders only score came from a touchdown by Landon Williams on a pass from Dash Holley. The 2 point conversion was no good.

The defensive highlights were Kaydin Peoples with 5 tackles, Dash Holley had 6 tackles and 1 interception, and Jayden Joseph had 3 tackles and 1 sack.

The Raiders played a very physical team in the Clover Eagles. The score doesn’t show it but, the game was close. The Raiders had 2 busted plays that resulted in touchdowns for the Eagles. The Raiders continued to scrap and compete until the final seconds ticked off the clock.

The Raiders are on a bye week next week and host Saluda Trail here at the RRMS Ship on Wednesday, October 16. Make plans to come out and support the RAIDERS!
