There is a water leak under the pavement near the greenhouse, and the plumber has to shut off the water to the school for six hours after the repair is complete. In order to avoid closing school tomorrow, the water will be shut off at 3:30 this afternoon. Because of this, the Bands Concert scheduled for 7 tonight will be moved to Thursday, May 9, at 3:30 p.m. The soccer and baseball games scheduled for this afternoon will not be affected. School will operate on normal schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, May 8.
During Bulldogs Care Days this year, sixth grade students watched the documentary Living on One Dollar, and learned how poverty affects millions of people in rural, remote areas of the world. To raise awareness and money for the Living on One organization, students will sell friendship bracelets that they made this Thursday and Friday, May 9 and 10, in the Dining Hall during middle school lunch. Bracelets cost 50 cents to $2, and would make great Mother’s Day or Teacher Appreciation gifts! Please see Mrs. Carter with questions.

The funds from this year's Dance for Change will be used to create a "Bulldog Bank" to assist our community with needs during times of hardship. RCS students are encouraged to recognize needs in the community and have a resource to assist. For instance, a neighbor who is sick and travels to Durham for treatments may need a gas card, a friend of the family who has to stop working to care for a family member may need a grocery gift card, or the homeless may need a gift card to Tricia's for a meal. Forms are in Mrs. Coleman’s room for students or staff to request funds to help someone. A committee will review submissions, keeping the requester and the person in need confidential, to determine the amount and how the assistance is given. Email Mrs.Coleman at colemantr@roxborocs.org with questions, or students may stop by her room.
The RCS Seventh Grade, Eighth Grade and High School Bands will perform their annual spring concert on Tuesday, May 7, at 7 p.m., in the RCS multipurpose room. This is a free concert. Come out and hear your wonderful RCS musicians.
