Congratulations to the RCHS Student of the Month for May, Meagan Laurie! Meagan, a Sophomore, has a cumulative GPA of 4.0. She is a member of Key Club, Culture Club, Pep Club, SADD, FCA, Music Theatre and FCCLA. She is also a member of the band, volleyball team, and track team. Here is what Mrs. Steiner had to say about Meagan: “Meagan always comes in with a smile on her face and ready to work. She is respectful and enjoyable to be around. Meagan is a quiet leader in the classroom. Riley County is a better place because of Meagan!”
Mrs. Lloyd also added: “If Meagan has ever had a bad day, she doesn’t show it. She stays committed to what needs to be done, and does it in a positive manner. She is always prepared and encourages others to do the same. I love having her in class!”
Congratulations Meagan!
RCHS had a busy week last week! From teacher appreciation activities to senior signing day, Mid-East League Golf, a band concert, home softball, FFA, hosting League Track, and a choir concert our students and staff were awesome! Our students and staff make RCHS a great place to be. Thank you to all staff members for your willingness to help work and support all programs at RCHS!

***Attention JH Track and Field patrons*** Rain is going to continue throughout the day. Those student athletes who are still involved with track for our rescheduled-date tomorrow will NOT be having practice tonight due to the weather.
A reminder, the remaining team participating tomorrow will leave tomorrow at 11:10 from the grade school, with the first make up event starting at 1:00 tomorrow in Rossville. With 5 events left, this should only take about an hour to an hour and a half max to finish up, and busses should return to school around dismissal or a little after.

***Attention 6th-7th grade parents***
All students interested in middle school cheer next year should have brought home a pamplet for our RCMS Cheer "Try-ITS" next week. This is an opportunity for interested students to try cheer, and work together with the coach and current cheerleaders to see if they like cheer and want to participate next year. Try-ITS are next week on Monday the 15th and Wednesday the 17th from 3:30-5:30 in the middle school gym. Our cheer coach will be present to work with all cheerleaders and all interested. Please note, if you want to "stunt" with the squad, you're required to have a physical on file with the office and Mr. Gordon. All students who had a physical this last year are good through the summer on their current physical, but new incoming 6th graders will need a physical from May 1st or later in order to stunt.
Pastries with Parents was a HUGE success again! A huge thank you for the RCGS PTO for supplying and throwing the event, and a huge thank you to all our parents and families who came to have a little breakfast with your kiddos. Happy Friday everyone!

***Attention JH track and field patrons/parents***
The rest of the Mid East League track meet will now be concluding next week on Tuesday 5/16 starting at 1:00pm AT Rossville. There is approximately 5 events left to run, best guess are the remaining events should take no more than an hour and a half to finish all events. Only the students who have events left to compete will attend.
Plans have been made with classroom teachers, transportation, etc. The bus will leave at 11:15am from the grade school.
Track coaches will follow up with more information about remaining practices and procedures for the make up date.
FFA is busy cleaning staff vehicles for teacher appreciation week!
Final rehearsal is in full swing. Be sure to check out the 5th-12th Grade Band Concert tonight at 6:30pm!
***JH Track Parents/Patrons***
Weather rolled in quicker than anticipated. The local administration at Rossville has decided to postpone the rest of the league meet, which as of now will be concluded at the high school MEL league meet which is slated for Thursday at Riley County. That is still in the air, as the weather could be poor on the original date.
More importantly, the team that is still at Rossville will be waiting in the HS gym at Rossville for the first and more severe cell to pass (around 3:45-4:00), then head back to Riley. That should put the team returning back to Riley somewhere in the neighborhood of 5:00.
Coaches will be in contact with more definite times for the team to return.
****Attention MS track parents/patrons**** Weather looks promising for today's league track meet at Rossville up until about 4:00pm. Rossville will be attempting to start field events earlier than the previous start time in order to get the meet completed without any weather interference. Any parent is able to take their child when their events are concluded, Rossville has also offered their HS gym for the team to ride out any possible weather at the end of the day, in efforts to keep our busses off the road until the weather clears. If you aren't familiar with their facilities, their gym is directly across the parking lot from the track and field. Please contact the RCGS office if there is any questions.
Senior Gracie Sensley competed at 3A State Forensics today. She received high scores on her Poetry entry for, "The Caged Bird Sings" and "Still I Rise". Congratulations Gracie!
