National Assistant Principal Week
Reminder: RMS Cheer Tryouts are Wednesday, April 5th, from 3:15-6:15 (or until your child has finished their tryout) in the RMS Gym.
HES and RPS Pre-K students and teachers participated in the Carl Perkins Center’s kickoff parade for Child Abuse Prevention Month. The theme was “There is no place like a safe home”. RHS JROTC led the parade while Pre-K students marched in the parade and adorned rubies and crowns to celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Carl Perkins Center. Parents and families joined the celebration for a huge turnout and great success. LCS would like to thank all staff, volunteers, parents, and community members for helping us place the best interest of children at the center of all we do.
