LEAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU SEE IT
WEEK 14
This was the last full week before Thanksgiving Break. There will not be an issue of the Lion Review next week with it only being a two day week. This is my favorite issue that I put together. Each year I have students tell me the staff member they are most thankful for and why. The responses I get are incredible. We have a very caring and compassionate staff who are only in this business to better kids! When I read what our kids have to say about our staff it let's me know we are doing the right thing! I hope that all of you enjoy reading the responses from our student body!

Even if you are a junior, it is not too late to get your ICC! Talk with your counselors and M

Some of our students take an untraditional approach to graduation. We are now starting to see the hard work paying off for some of our students in our Opportunity School Program! I wanted to highlight a couple of our recent graduates who have finished up everything they need to graduate with the 2025 cohort!!
Professional Development
Corporation Curriculum Director Dr. Nahlik lead PD for our staff this week. She followed up Ms. Adams who introduced the staff to some AI sites that she had learned at a conference over Fall Break. Dr. Nahlik took the staff through a couple of AI sites that can be utilized by teachers as a tool in the classroom and for class preparation.

His class has truly made me become a better person.
Jocelyn Massa - Mrs. Durand - She teaches us the way we need to be taught while still making class fun. She relates to us as friends and not just as students which is the type of teacher I love. I learn so much in her class.
Chesney Cook - Mrs. Lemmons - She's actually nice and tries to actually teach us unlike some teachers.
SPECIAL SHOUT OUT
STUDENTS AT RCHS
I want to give a special SHOUT OUT to all of the students at RCHS. Thank you for letting the staff here at RCHS know how awesome and wonderful they are. It is tough working in education wondering every day if what you are doing is making any kind of impact. People get into the business of education to work with young people and help them become good humans so they can find success in life. Thank you for reminding everyone that it is not just what you learn in the classroom that makes a difference. It is the relationships that staff members build and the little things that make the biggest impact. We are blessed with so many great staff members but also blessed with so many great students!!
