We are excited about our upcoming Spring Fling THI We are excited about our upcoming Spring Fling THIS Saturday, April 25th from 10am-1pm. This spring fundraiser is near and dear to our hearts as it offers a plant sale from First Step Farm, a Community Craft Market, and features our Omega 6th grader's Social Entrepreneurship Businesses!

Sixth graders have been hard at work learning the ins and outs of creating products and building businesses that highlight and offer support to social causes that are important to them. Their work will be on display (and for sale!) at the Spring Fling, with part of their proceeds benefiting a non-profit connected to their business concepts. 

The Community Craft Market also features the creative and entrepreneurial works of RCS staff, parents, and community members. Booths this year include delicious and nutritious dog treats from @botanicalbonesco, health and beauty products from @bisabotanicals, art, pottery, crafts, and more!

We are also pleased to announce that the @maiz_y_amor food truck will be positioned for food sales in our Haywood Road staff parking lot, adding to the good vibes of this event. You won't want to miss it!

Come and explore the wonderful world of storytelli Come and explore the wonderful world of storytelling with puppets! If you like to make things and act out stories, then this summer camp is for you! 

We will create puppets from found objects and give them stories to tell. Have you ever seen two shoes in an argument? Just wait. We will also explore shadow puppet making and present a “big screen” show at the end of the week. (There may be monsters.) Puppetry combines drama, visual art, storytelling, and working together, all in the name of fun! Afternoon activities will include plenty of creative movement, a possible field trip, and watching some classic puppet show videos! (There may be popcorn.)
