Choir has grown! There are 47 girls and 27 boys in choir. Ms. Broderick has planned an exciting year.
RJJH is excited to present the musical, "Once Upon a Mattress" November 14-16. The auditions were last week and we have a great cast!
Olympians will be learning our school expectations throughout the month of September. We will abide by Olympian Pride. Pride stands for Patience, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Excellence.
Our
year at RJJH is off to a great start! We have fully implemented the new
Common Core standards and you can feel a renewed spirit of learning in both our
students and our staff. We have lots of changes this year and we are
excited about the direction we are headed.
We have several new staff members that I will look forward to introducing to you at our new school board meeting. They are all doing great and have quickly become part of our Olympian family.
On September 13th we will have our first spirit rally of the year. The students don’t know it yet but Mr. Rafer Johnson called me on Friday and he will make a surprise visit that day. He had committed to come and visit “his students” four times this year.
Our campus is looking better than ever. James Scott and his maintenance and grounds staff have worked hard painting, pouring concrete, and making sure that our campus is at its best. We appreciate all that they do.
We
had a great Back to School Night. We tried something different this
year. We held our Back to School Night the night before school
started. We had a phenomenal turnout from our 7th
graders. We decided to do it the night before school starts to relieve
the nerves of our incoming 7th graders and their parents. This
was a great sacrifice on our teachers part but it really paid off the first day
of school. We had a very smooth start and we are looking forward to
amazing things this year!
