What an absolutely incredible run of performances of Disney's Frozen JR., courtesy of the talented RCS Middle School Drama Club! Big thank you to everyone who came out to see the show! Taking the stage with enthusiasm, their performances highlighted the participation, communication, and collaboration skills of our students, production crew, and Co-Directors Ms. Kobylar and Ms. VanDerheyden.

Amazing job, and thank you for the outstanding performances!! Check out some more photos of the show below!

Who doesn't love a good book? Earlier this year, five PBC classes won a donation of books from local author John Gray, and they are really enjoying them!! The books focus on teaching students about spreading kindness, supporting others, and how to create a caring community! Big thank you to John Gray, as well as to Mrs. Grogan, Miss Dawson, Ms. Stott, Mr. Koblenzer, Ms. Burns, Mrs. Travis, Mrs. Collins, and Ms. Maroney for applying to their students! Read more below!

Recently, Mr. Bevington’s Middle School Introduction to Production Systems Technology class designed and built tic-tac-toe games for Mrs. Engelhardt’s Pre-K classroom. The games will be used in class to work on a variety of skills and, of course, to have a little fun! Another great example of collaboration between students of all ages at RCS.

Excellent job to the students who made the games for all their hard work! Click the link below to learn more about the project.

Happy American Education Week! The week before Thanksgiving each year is used to celebrate public education settings and honor the hard-working individuals who are committed to inspiring and preparing students for their bright futures! We greatly appreciate all the teachers, staff, families, communities, and everyone in between who supports our students!

Big congratulations to seniors Jenna Grogan, Ian Brisco, Brady Engel, and Sulamita Voronko, who received this year’s New York State Scholarship for Academic Excellence!! It took a lot of hard work and dedication to receive this scholarship, as it is awarded based on class rank at the end of their junior year. Keep up the great work!!
