Congratulations to the Willow Creek Middle School Lego Robotics Club! The
Cannibalistic Frogs.
Won first place in the Long term competition!
More than 60 RPS students participated in the annual IBM Lego Outreach Competition (ILEO) on Wednesday, December 13. Since October, students have been building robots made of LEGO bricks, motors, and sensors. Robots were scored based on their ability to complete challenges. The competition is part of a longtime partnership between IBM and RPS to expose students to genuine engineering experiences. The program is facilitated by volunteer mentors from IBM, many of whom work professionally as engineers and software developers.
Way to go Willow Creek!
Pajama Day!
Way to go!
Remember that RPS Winter Break is December 22- January 2. We hope you enjoy some time off with your family and friends and can't wait to see you in the new year!
Today, the Mayo Clinic announced a gift of $10 million to Rochester Public Schools to enable the school district to sustain the implementation of the district’s strategic plan for academic transformation. As a result of the gift, Dr. Pekel has made important changes in the Attendance Options Redesign proposal that incorporates insights gained from the extensive feedback that the school district has sought on the proposal since the release of the first draft of the Redesign.

RPS families; Due to a traffic accident on Highway 52 and the ensuing backup, many buses may be running late this afternoon. We appreciate your patience.
What a great performance on Thursday evening from our band department. We get to enjoy the Chorus next week.
Enjoy!
