This week is School Counselor Appreciation Week, we are proud to celebrate Mrs. Connerly, the best school counselor we could ask for. She is a constant source of support, encouragement, and care for our students and staff. Mrs. Connerly goes above and beyond each day to help students feel safe, heard, and confident, whether they need help solving a problem, managing emotions, or planning for the future. Her kindness, patience, and dedication make a lasting impact on our school community. We are so grateful for everything she does and are lucky to have her as our school counselor!

RIS will be having a Scholastic Book Fair next week! What better way to spread kindness and say "Happy Valentine's Day" than with books!

We would like to celebrate our amazing Social Studies teacher who brings so much fun and excitement to our school each day! Her lessons are engaging, creative, and full of energy, making history and geography come alive for our students. She works incredibly hard to strengthen students’ vocabulary, helping them understand and use important academic words with confidence. Through games, discussions, and hands-on activities, she turns learning into an enjoyable experience while still challenging students to grow. Our school is lucky to have a teacher who combines hard work, passion, and fun to inspire a love of learning in every classroom. Congratulations Mrs. Vulpitta for being our Employee of the Month for January!
