Eric Nykamp came last Thursday and Friday to lead drum circles with preschool - 5th grade students.  He did a fantastic job!

Welcome to RCS
Please join us in welcoming Alexis Sackrison, her brother, and her parents, Benjamin and Anna, to RCS! They recently moved to Michigan from Texas.  Alexis joined Mrs. VanderLaan's M-W-F preschool class. We are excited to have them join our RCS family!

The first graders finished their unit on plants by exploring interactive Earth Day activities online.
The third graders are using print and electronic sources to research Washington, D.C. They are using the Big 6 research model.
The sixth graders learned how to create an electronic survey using Google Apps for Education.  They will use this tool to survey the community for their environmental action projects.

P.E. News
It’s time for spring fitness testing in P.E.  Over the next few weeks, the kids will be doing the mile run, sit & reach, sit-ups, pull-ups and shuttle run tests.  It is my hope that the kids will show improvement compared to their fall scores.
