Today Mrs. Flanagan's Dual Credit Intro to Education students presented their proposals for their first Team-based Challenge, checking off another requirement for the Illinois Pathways Certification. A huge thank you to our mentors, Dr. Harper, Dr. Lewis, and Mrs. Hacaga, and our teacher evaluators, Ms. Karner and Ms. Jamison. (Then this evening, some of the students organized the Educators Rising table at our 8th Grade Curriculum Night, answering questions and encouraging kids to consider becoming a teacher.)
Our 8th Grade Curriculum Night was a tremendous success! Thank you to all the families who attended and to our amazing staff and students for showcasing various organizations.
Our current students have selflessly volunteered over 22,600 hours over their time here at RTHS. There are so many opportunities to volunteer your time and talents. Aubry Simms and her mom recently helped prepare gift-filled shoeboxes at Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child to be sent to children around the world. Many local opportunities can be found on our RTHS homepage under the Counseling Center tab or by following this link: https://bit.ly/silverserviceopps ~"You make a living by what you get.
