Such a fun and busy week here in Hubland! The Counseling Staff held Renaissance Study Hall Release today. Renaissance card holders were able to join in on the fun, games and snacks during their Study Hall or lunch period today. Freshmen also got the chance to experience this perk of being a Renaissance card recipient.
This week's Hub Award winner is Ali Ohlinger. She has always been a big part of RTHS, but she has recently stepped up to get some really neat things done for Interact - like helping to create the winning Homecoming banner! We appreciate all Ali does for RTHS, and how she helps RTHS be a better place.
Happy Toga Day, seniors!

Homecoming Activities.
Each year Student Council nominates an individual from the school or community who has shown exceptional HUB pride and dedication to our school, students, and community. This year, we are proud to announce that Mrs. Ann Marie Jinkins will be our 2024 Homecoming Grand Marshall.
Mrs. Jinkins started working at RTHS in 1992. She taught Spanish I and then moved to the English Department for 11 years. She is currently working as our librarian. Mrs. Jinkins is currently running Fiction Addiction, Gacme Club, Hubs Read Podcast, and the Lego Club at RTHS. She mentioned that she loves how our school has something for everyone. She enjoys how the HUB community gets excited for every club and sport. Mrs. Jinkins is proud of the multiple clubs she has started, and the many grants she has written to get money for the library and clubs. She is incredibly proud of all library monitors and the friendships she has built with colleagues.
Mrs. Jinkins is retiring after this year. When asked what her future plans are, she said that she plans to continue working as a librarian but at a college or public library. She also wants to get back into quilting. A message she wants to share with future generations is to be kind to classmates because you’re all in the same boat together. The 4 years can go by slowly yet quickly, so why waste it with negativity? The last words of wisdom Mrs. Jinkins wants to share with RTHS students is that you don’t have to love reading, but someday you are going to need it.
Congratulations Mrs. Jinkins! Thank you for everything you have done for RTHS!
Minnie Mouse is in the house!
