Royal was honored to host Brazos Valley Schools Credit Union (BVSCU) for dinner on Friday before the football game against Wharton. BVSCU not only partnered with three other businesses to purchase the new Falcon Stadium scoreboard, but also sponsored Friday night's football game.

Congratulations to our staff member of the month for September! Ms. Lopez goes above an beyond to teach and engage her 4th grade students!

Great things are happening at Royal Junior High and Royal STEM Academy! Visit https://5il.co/1jbfz to read the third issue of the RJH & STEM Falcon Times. The paper is written by the new Mass Communications class, one of the new electives at RJH. Great job, Falcons!

Thank you all who came out to help with the Royal Courtyard. We even had 2 former students and a former colleague from Drew ISD come help to rebuild the RJH Courtyard. Thank you to School Board Trustee Adrian Rocha for bringing water to our hard-working crew. We're almost there. #WeAreFalcons #WeAreRoyal

Congratulations to RHS coach and OnRamps instructor Alicia Russo! She was spotlighted by the OnRamps College Algebra (ORCA) program today! The weekly newsletter is distributed to all Texas schools affiliated with University of Texas OnRamps, so we are extremely proud that Coach Russo was selected! Click here to view the entire newsletter.

---------------------------------------

In OnRamps, collaboration is key, and vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental skill. Can we combine the two? ORCA Instructor Alicia has found a favorite way! In her "Stand Up, Hand Up" Vocabulary Attainment Activity, all students are up and engaged defining a word, giving an example, and providing misconceptions with a partner. There is music, and mingling, and learning - oh my!

Way to go, Alicia!

Twenty-seven RHS Falcons visited the University of Texas at San Antonio to learn about the school's offerings!
