Good luck to our high school baseball team as they begin their season at home today!

Senior Brecken Isaacson had an idea last year. He wanted to build a darkroom for his art project. He researched, met with the superintendent, made purchase orders, cleaned, painted and waited… it’s been a year and now the RC darkroom is finally up and running! We can’t wait to explore the art of black and white film! We will keep you all posted! 📷


Yesterdays 4th grade STEM class coded the Ozobot robots to go bowling and coded the Dash robots to play the xylophone!



Kindergarten STEM classes have been working through the introduction to color coding with Ozobots!
