Lets Go Lions!!!
Dear Families,
Sorry, I could not resist! As a football fan I know how hard it is to get to a Championship game with a chance to make it to the Superbowl. As a Lions fan I know this might be the one time in my life I get to route for my team to make the Superbowl. Lions fan or not, I hope you enjoy this Championship Sunday!
Second Semester has begun and are focus remains intent on building momentum towards learning. Important months ahead for our learners! Many milestones ahead and many celebrations sure to come.

This Month's Theme is Respect!
What is Respect?
Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. Leaders can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist.
At R-P we define Respect as: Showing others, objects, and self they matter.
