Remember, meals are available for pick up at the high school each week for all students. Seven lunches and seven breakfasts are provided. Here is the schedule for February.
There was a little bit of white confetti for our last-first-day celebration of the year! We have amazing students… each morning, we have caught students holding the door. Small acts of kindness goes such a long way. It is going to be a great semester!
It has been a unique year for sure, but another first day calls for a celebration. We had a great first day welcoming many new students back into the building.
Remember, tomorrow and Tuesday are soft start days for all students and everyone is back together on Wednesday!
RPMS Choir students and staff helped add closure to the semester with a musical tribute to teachers. "Don't Give Up" on me is a special message shared by a special group of students.

Students picked up supplies for the Food and Fitness club. We are thankful for the partnership with MSU to provide a great virtual after school experience for our students.
Our Student Council will be here at 2:00 and 6:00 to provide tours to any students new or returning to our building this year. We hope to see everyone today!
Reminder: today is a half-day with dismissal at 10:55!
After a little bit of a break, we were happy to welcome Addie back to the building today. Addie is a certified therapy dog and is a great support to the learning at the middle school in our Compass Room.
We love this Friday tradition. Help us in recognizing the rocket slip drawing winners for the week. The rocket Way is definitely on display and respect, pride, and integrity can be seen all over the place. Go Rockets!
This week, the ELA students chose a word of intention to help guide them this year. After they chose a word, they elaborated in writing how using a more broad word of intention could help them work on their personal goals.
Here is the meal pick up schedule for January
During our live announcements today, we drew names from our Rocket Slips to recognize respect, pride, and integrity by giving away some RP gear and candy. We missed a couple for the picture, but appreciate them all. Also, we had a little class competition guessing game and the 8th graders took the win. It was a great way to start the day!
Today, we want to give a shout out to our high school PALS (only a few of them pictured here). PALS (peer-assistant leaders) is a class that high school students can take in which they learn a lot about themselves, gain insight into interacting with others, and build skills for a semester before they work as mentors for younger students throughout the district. We are so thankful for this group of students for supporting the social and emotional learning of our students.

Learning to solve inequalities is important and learning to communicate is just as important! We love partner work.
It is great to be a Rocket. A high school group wanted to bring joy to our community and raise money for the rescue mission ... the first holiday light show was born! It was amazing and we raised $7586.78! The middle school was excited to participate and even to win the trophy, but truly, the entire community won with this event. #RPSTRONG
Thank you Rocket City. We passed $3300 last night in donations for The Rescue Mission at the light show. We also helped spread a lot of holiday cheer. Do you think we can pass $10,000? The light show is again tonight from 5:30 to 7:30.
As one of the last activities, student council planned for a school wide holiday trivia Kahoot. The game got intense and Mrs. Woijtas and her class came out with a win. We are proud of the work of our student leaders to create a great week of fun before the break.
It was a little busy today and we missed a couple of pictures but, here are a few of our Rocket Slip winners. We can’t say enough about the respect, pride, and integrity we see from our students on a daily basis. Go Rockets!
