"Your vision, passion, and commitment have impacted our school and the lives of so many students. We wish you a happy and fulfilling retirement and thank you for everything you have done for us. " You will be missed at RGS Mrs. Bosma, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Peterson, and Mrs. Rietschel. These photos are from our Retiree Celebration Lunch yesterday, April 18th. It was absolutely wonderful!

RGS Field Day is Thursday, May 23rd. Students will eat outside and can bring their own lunch or get a hot dog lunch including a bag of chips, graham cookies, a fruit, and a juice box. Please talk with your student about what they would like to have for lunch on field day as their classroom teacher will be asking them and collecting a tally within the next week. There is still time to order your Field Day shirt. Not required, just something fun! Order by April 21st! https://rgsfieldday2024.itemorder.com/shop/home/ Any questions? Please contact me at rschmitt@nsd2.com Thanks and have a great day! -Ms. Johnson

In February our Kindergarten and First Grade Musicians hosted a benefit concert to raise funds and supplies for Young at Heart Senior Rescue and Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary. The RGS Community raised over $150 dollars and a carload full of supplies for EACH rescue! In March, Mrs. Flores delivered the supplies and got to visit with some of the cute beneficiaries. Take a look!

Miss Elliott`s students loved learning more about how agriculture affects our everyday lives and of course, interacting with the animals at their field trip to the Agriculture Expo last week!

Look at this fabulous Assistant Librarian working so diligently! Even with the barcodes giving her a hard time, she overcame them with determination! Nice job with book checkouts!!

2nd Grade wanted to extend a huge thank you to Mrs. Rett and Mrs. Flores for visiting 2nd grade as mystery readers recently. The 2nd graders were thrilled to hear their favorite stories, and felt incredibly lucky to have had them share their love of reading.
