Who we remember...

Have you ever stopped to think about what people will remember about you? It's easy to get caught up in grades, awards, or the latest trends, but those aren't the things that truly stick with us. The most meaningful memories aren't about being the most famous or having the most money.

Instead, we remember the people who were kind, who made us feel included, and who stood up for what was right. The real legacy we create isn't found in a trophy case or the banners hung; it's built one small act of kindness at a time. This week, we're celebrating the simple, powerful ways we can leave a positive mark on our communities, not for fame, but for the good WE do.

A letter went home with you FALL sport athlete. It is about a healthy snack station that we are going to utilize before they have practice. If you want your child to participate, we are asking you to pay $20/athlete. This will allow them one healthy snack before practice each day.

Check out the letter that was sent home with your athlete.

Congratulations goes to our own Becky Schueth who has been named a State Finalist for this award!

This is the highest honors bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teaching. Awards are given to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teachers who have both deep content knowledge of the subjects they teach and the ability to motivate and enable students to be successful in those areas.

Mrs. Schueth is currently teaching high school mathematics here at SRC. This is her 11th year at S-RC and I teach Geometry, Technical Math, College Algebra, PreCalculus and Calculus. Becky has 20 years of experience in teaching and she began her career at Columbus High School. Mrs. Schueth Bachelor’s (2005) and Master’s (2009) degrees are from Wayne State College. She enjoys sharing her excitement for math with her students each day!

When you see her, please make sure you congratulate her on this incredible achievement! We are all proud and rooting for you!

Legacy...

Good morning!

I hope you are having a great weekend and have a wonderful Sunday ahead of you! It is beginning of another great week as we continue to progress into the first quarter. Continue to be open, communicate with each other, and continue to support those around you with positive things you see. What get what you look for!

As Maya Angelou famously said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This truth applies to every one of us, whether we are a student, a staff member, or a part of our wider district community.

Our school is more than just a place to learn; it's a nurturing environment that is built on relationships. The kindness a student shows to a new classmate, the encouragement a teacher offers during a difficult lesson, or the support a staff member provides behind the scenes—these are the moments that define us. They are the small, daily interactions that we all build the foundation together to create a culture of compassion and respect.

Let's challenge ourselves to remember this every day. How can we make someone feel seen, valued, and appreciated? It could be as simple as a genuine smile in the hallway, offering to help a friend, or thanking a staff member for their hard work.

These aren't just polite gestures; they are our foundation as a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. The true measure of our success isn't just in our achievements, but in the lasting, positive impact we have on each other's lives.

Have a great rest of your Sunday!

Quote of the week to reflect on:

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Maya Angelou

Sincerely,

Tucker Tejkl
