Good Afternoon Killam Families!
We have a short week ahead! A reminder that there is no school Tuesday, as teachers will be collaborating and participating in professional development around developing a sense of belonging and working with their vertical grade level teams.
There is also no school on Friday in honor of Veteran's Day!
We hope you have a fabulous week and enjoy this extra time with your awesome kiddos!

Something Rotten- RMHS Musical
The RMHS Drama Club presents Something Rotten, a comedy in which two brothers set out to write the worldβs first musical in this hilarious mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway! Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the worldβs very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
November 11-19 at the RMHS William E Endslow Performing Arts Center. Details and tickets at RMHSDrama.org
Rated PG with some language and mature content.

SEPACsgiving November 13-19 (sign up for sessions by November 3rd)
SEPACsgiving will be an opportunity for general members to connect with other general members in self-selected groups (eg ADHD, Dyslexia, SAIL, OOD, etc.). Members will "give" presence, time, resources, support, encouragement, and compassion to one another. The initial meeting, for which you can sign up using this link, will be 30 minutes long, virtual, and with an identified point person present to help facilitate conversation, take general notes of broad ideas and questions the group would like shared with the SEPAC board and/or Student Services, and help identify and plan for next steps. Members MAY share contact info and choose if and how they would like to continue/grow their network. Please sign up by November 3rd to allow organizers enough planning time.
