Community leaders from around Person County made a stop at RCS during their Education Day! They were able to hear from administration all about RCS and then got a tour of our building from a few of our amazing student ambassadors. We are happy they came to visit, and spent time learning about our school!
A few Beta Club members participated in the Fall Community Litter Sweep this past Saturday. Students Skye Fulcher and Zoey Rochefort shared a little bit about their experience!
"During the fall litter pickup, Beta members worked together to serve our community by picking up trash and litter uptown in Person County. We helped clean up roadsides and public areas, making the community look cleaner and more welcoming. This service project also helped protect the environment, show community pride, and show that we want to live in a clean and safe environment. Working together gave us a chance to give back to our town while putting Beta’s motto, 'Let Us Lead By Serving Others,' to life. "

Honorable mentions were Margaret Bailey, Braylee Barker, Khloe Denny, Madison Jones, Tucker Lewis, Isley Lewis, Talley Roberts, and Avery Whitfield.
We are so proud of these students and how they are continuing to become 1% better every day. They are great examples of what it means to represent RCS!
