More from Salmon Release Day!
Salmon release 2024 was incredible! This morning, our third grade students and staff gathered along the Muskegon River, sending 63 R-P raised chinook salmon to the next stage of their fascinating life cycle. After the release, students removed trash from their annual release site as active stewards of Rocket City. What an experience! Proud!!!

Throughout the month of February, we celebrated kindness as part of our CKH Leadworthy series. Students were encouraged to participate in daily kindness challenges announced each morning. As a culminating event, we held a schoolwide assembly in the gymnasium today. One student from each classroom received recognition and a little gift for their steady commitment to being kind. Students nominated a couple teachers as well :)
Our theme for March is Courage!
Fourth graders welcomed Jackie Griffin, Director of food service to discuss their social action project: The War on Foam. R-P recently switched to compostable lunch trays from foam, which are much healthier for the Earth and for humans.
