Congrats to our Overwatch Team!

RHS Peer Listeners are not only trained to listen to students in difficult moments, but they also do a fantastic job educating peers about mental health resources. Here is an example: flowcode.com/page/rhspeerlis…

Senior sunrise! It was a fun morning with this group- thanks to the local businesses for their donations to make it special! Donuts, teas, and giveaways as this group continues to grow as the leaders of our school! #rockfordrams

Just when I thought our first day couldn’t get any better, a community member buys a surprise ice cream truck for all staff at the end of the first day! #rockfordrams

Happy Father’s Day to all. When the sun is out and your son asks you to play catch… it makes for a perfect day

We knew we would love you. We could never fathom how much. Tomorrow, you turn 2. Happy birthday, little bug.

One of our teachers did a checkin with students to start class. I’m a 1 today lol. It’s always impressive seeing how different teachers take time to connect with students in their own ways

Will’s pitch selection is a work in progress and don’t get me started on Lucille’s strike percentage…😜

My sister teaches science in Georgia. I was lucky enough to surprise her when she was awarded the teacher of the year award. She has never had an easy road, but always had a smile. I’m proud that she has used obstacles to add layers to herself so she can connect with all students

This week brought a lot on everyone’s plate. For real. A lot. Proud of our staff for how we worked with our kids. Feeling grateful. Had a thought: In schools there are lots of uncontrollable negatives. Grateful that this weeks only ‘struggle’ was a lot of work. That’s a blessing.

Irene Miller, Holocaust survivor, shared her amazing story to a large group of RHS students today. One part of her message: “Hate has no logic. Hate is learned…you have the power to create a cycle of respect instead of hate” Such an incredible experience for our students!
