Principal's Note
Dear Rocky Run Families:
Happy spring! While our week ended up being quite a bit shorter than planned, and we have many school events to reschedule due to the weather, it was full of good things nonetheless. I hope that each of our students enjoyed some time in the snow.
On behalf of the entire RRMS faculty and staff, I wish you and your family a wonderful spring vacation. We hope that it is a wonderful time to catch up with family and friends and get some much needed rest. We wish our group of students and staff heading to Hawaii on a historical trip safe travels.We look forward to seeing all of the students back in school on April 3, 2018.
I welcome your feedback, questions, and suggestions. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I hope to see you at Rocky Run MS very soon.
Sincerely,
Amy Goodloe, Ed.D.

Positivity Project - FORGIVENESS
You forgive those who have done wrong. You accept that people make mistakes.
Students this week watched a video on forgiveness and discussed why forgiveness can often be so difficult to do.
Here are some quotes on forgiveness for you and your family to discuss:
"Forgiveness
of yourself and others will release you from the prison of the past"
"10%
of life is what happens to you, 90% of life is how we respond to what happen to
us"
Upcoming Dates
March 26-30: Spring Break: Schools Closed, RRMS Office Closed

Renovation News:
Demolition in the closed classroom area continues and work to prepare for the renovation of the gym will take place over spring vacation. In addition, the hallway ceilings in the majority of the building will be removed over spring break to prepare for the wiring and utilities to the addition. All classroom spaces and the gym will reopen for regular use on April 3.
During construction, questions about indoor air quality will arise. Visit the Rocky Run website to review FAQs related to indoor air quality.
