Through it all, our students shared a simple, poignant story about friendship, teamwork, and perseverance.Their performance skills and confidence have grown, and they’ve become more comfortable with the demands of the production process.

“We’re incredibly proud of our young athletes and the remarkable effort they’ve displayed this season. Their dedication, respect for the game, and teamwork have been truly inspiring. Over the past few seasons, our lacrosse program has steadily grown, and we’re thrilled to have two strong teams this year. Despite a challenging loss to Brunswick in our first game, we’re eager for the rematch today. It’s sure to be an epic day of lacrosse, and we hope everyone will join us in supporting these talented athletes on our home field. Go Ripp!” — Coach Miles Cameron 🥍❤️💙

“The girls varsity lacrosse team works as a unit on the field. During games, the girls are fearless and rise above challenges, always putting their best foot forward to work towards a common goal. The teamwork the girls display is palpable and their unwavering support for one another is undeniable. Together, they’ve developed as teammates and lacrosse players, and their growth has been a pleasure to watch.” — Lacrosse Coach Natalie Harrington ’13 🥍💙❤️

From the Irish stepdance to an Eastern European folk dance, second graders performed a collection of songs and dances about immigration and heritage. Prior to the performance, students interviewed their relatives to learn about their own heritage and then chose a country of origin to research. The performance was a cumulative presentation of their work across many areas of the school. From art to dance, we have many people to thank for helping our students shine!
Thank you to…
⭐️ Lainie Zades for coordinating the musical performance.
⭐️Tim Corcoran and Sara Malekzadeh for helping with heritage museum boxes.
⭐️Miles Cameron and Emily Sanyshyn in the Innovation Center for helping students create their landmark models.
And finally, thank you to the second grade team — Joanna Hepworth, Michelle Searle, Emma Zachary... with special thanks to Teresa Visconti for her choreography skills. 💃 🕺

Kindergarteners in Mrs Levy’s class who have been learning about the elements of a story, especially the setting, visited the set of Charlotte’s Web. They saw first-hand how the setting can bring a story to life. Thank you, Mr. Pedicini for the special tour. The class just finished reading Charlotte’s Web and can’t wait to watch the dress rehearsal today!
Charlotte’s Web opens tonight (Wednesday, May 8) in the RCS Playhouse at 6:00 p.m. 🕸️🐷
