RMS Run/Walk: Warriors on the Move! Last Friday was a fun day at RMS! Students hit the pavement, got some great exercise, and raised money for a fantastic cause. They didn't just earn the funds, they enjoyed earning them! Thank you to all the parents, teachers, and community members who supported our students. Way to go, Warriors!

Warrior Staff and Students Show Their Love!
What an incredible outpouring of support for Hunter, one of our second-grade students who is recovering from a major medical procedure this summer.
Our students, coordinated by Mrs. Benner, created a mountain of thoughtful cards, notes, and pictures for Hunter during library time. Our principals were able to deliver all of the well wishes, including a special "We Miss You!" poster.
Hunter's mom shared that he "loved it!" and they are looking forward to reading all the cards. This is the Rochester Primary School community at its finest—caring, supportive, and showing what it means to be a family.
We are all thinking of you, Hunter! #WarriorStrong #HuntersIncredibleJourney

Last week, RPS had their first themed recess celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! RPS students enjoyed dancing to music in Español, playing bean bag toss while counting in Spanish, completing an Encanto scavenger hunt, and coloring beautiful papel picado. During conferences next week, families will be able to see the papel picado proudly displayed in the hallways of RPS.

Did you know that Hispanic Heritage Month began on September 15? The date is significant because it's the anniversary of independence for several Latin American countries! The traditions, languages, and unique perspectives enrich our classrooms. Our district is proud to be a place where we can learn from and honor the traditions, achievements, and stories of our Hispanic and Latino families.
