Respect, Pride, Integrity - The Rocket Way
Hello R-PEL Families!
A huge thank you to all of our volunteers and families who came out to support our Track & Field Day! Your time, energy and encouragement helped make the event such a fun and memorable experience for our students.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we are focused on finishing strong. Our students have worked incredibly hard all year and we are excited to keep the momentum going through these last important weeks of learning and growth.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership!
If you have any questions or need help, please reach out to us.

RP Youth Sports
Rising Rockets Web Tutorial
Please see the video below from the high school athletic department introducing Rising Rockets, an initiative designed to provide a one-stop digital location for all things youth athletics, in Rocket City.
Our goal is to make it easier for families to find information about camps, clinics, youth leagues, and opportunities to get involved in Reeths-Puffer athletics. Through Rising Rockets, you’ll be able to explore offerings, connect with programs, and register your student-athlete all in one convenient place.
We’re excited to continue building strong connections with our future Rockets and hope this resource makes navigating youth athletics in our community even easier.
RP Rocket Fuel May Programing
First Tee Golf Opportunities / Free for RP Students
First Tee: I talked with McKenna Ingles from First Tee. There are still a few spots open for the Middle School session at Stonegate (See attachment). This is free to R-P students. Also, the elementary session filled up but they were able to add a new session at Bent Pine (See attachment). This is also free to R-P students. These will fill up quickly so if you are interested then please sign up ASAP.
Greater Muskegon Junior Tour (GMJT): The GMJT is a great starting point for students who want to individually compete in tournaments. It is close to home and not very expensive (~$20-$25) per event. Local courses are available. If your student athlete enjoys golf and wants to start competing in events then here is the link with this summer's events: https://www.greatermuskegonjuniortour.com/

Did you know that R-PEL is a two year in a row National Showcase School for CKH?
What is Capturing Kids' Hearts? CKH is a program for teachers that focuses on building strong, positive relationships between students and staff to foster a safe and supportive school environment.
