What a great opportunity for our Sophomores tomorrow!
This year at RCHS we are trying to build a positive school culture. School spirit is more than just Go Knights. We asked the students to have a poster war to create positive encouraging messages. A community member graciously donated gift certificates to Scotts Place for the winners. Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Severin's Advisory groups were the winners of the contest. Each group will receive a pizza party with drinks for winning.
