Good Sunday evening to all!!
· Congratulations to our RHS Panther Basketball team on being
named the All A Class Tournament Runner-up. The Panthers won an exciting
game on Thursday night to advance to the championship game on Friday night
against the Glasgow Scotties. They fell by 7 points to Glasgow in that
game.
Three members of the RHS team were named to the
All-Tournament Team: Barrett Croslin, Deandre Riviera and Lee
McMurry. Khalia Hampton, a senior for the Lady Panthers, was also named
to the female all-tournament team. We would like to thank these students and their team members for their hard work and efforts during this tournament.
· The RHS Archery team was in action this past Saturday at
Olmstead. The following students were the top 5 shooters for RHS:
RHS Top Five:
Brian Clinard - 277
David Barber - 272
Chelsea Clinard- 259
Hannah Boisseau - 257
Alex Cain – 256
The archery team will participate in another tournament this Saturday at
Muhlenberg County High School—East Campus.
· The RMS Academic Team will begin competition this week in
the Regional Governor’s Cup with the high school team hosting the District
Governor’s Cup events. These events were postponed over the weekend and
rescheduled for this week.
· Grade-level meetings for the high school students and an
academic reception for the middle school were held this week to honor our

· During the high school grade level meetings, we also showed
students a clip of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. We
used this a conversation starter with our students to discuss their dreams,
aspirations and goals for the next few years of their lives. Our #1 goal
at RJSHS is to ensure that all students leave us as either college or career
ready so that they can become productive members of our community. Please
help us encourage our students to take advantage of the opportunities and the
resources that are available to them to help achieve that goal. We are
going to spend more targeted and focused time in the future on helping students
develop college and career pathways while at our school.
· We also discussed dress code issues that are arising with
our students. The wearing of leggings and stockings as pants is becoming
a prominent fashion style within our society. While we certainly
understand that most of our students like to keep up with the latest fashion
statements and trends, we also understand and recognize that sometimes these
trends are not appropriate for the educational setting. If students
choose to wear items such as leggings, tights, tight-fitting material under-garments,
etc., those items must be worn in conjunction with a top/blouse/dress/tunic
style shirt that is at least as long as their fingertips when arms are hanging
down by their sides. We don’t want to ban the wearing of these item, we
just simply want to provide the guidelines for wearing them appropriately in
the school setting. We also ask that you help us by ensuring students are
wearing their pants at the appropriate level—resting comfortably on the natural
waist—so as to prevent excess sagging. Undergarments, shorts, underwear,
etc. should not be showing and students should be able to walk freely without
having to hold up their pants. We thank you in advance for helping us
with these guidelines regarding student dress.
