OFF TO A FAST START

The lessons started early on the first day of class! Jacob O'Connor, a math teacher at Roth Junior High School, asked students to work in groups, build a tower made of index cards, and talk about what they learned from the process. Many thoughtful answers were shared.

The importance of good communication. Of listening to each other. And the need to have a a strong foundation upon which to build. Those truths apply to both life and math, O'Connor explained. It was a fun and enlightening lesson to start to the new school year!

First day of school!

Rush-Henrietta is sharing our annual ode to the first day of school. Parents have expressed that they enjoy reading these poems to their children each year. Please enjoy this year’s version (as always, created without the use of AI!) and the photos of each of our schools and the transportation building. Can you identify each one? We will see you all tomorrow, Royal Comets!

💚💛🖤

‘Twas the night before school starts, and all through R-H,
Our schools are ready for a year that is sure to be great.

For eight decades, R-H has helped many dreams come true,
This year we are ready and excited to do that for you!

The lockers are waiting; the playgrounds are, too.
Ready for the first day; all that’s missing is you.

Thousands of Chromebooks are prepped and stacked,
Thanks to the incredible efforts of our technology staff.

Hard-working athletes trying to stand out from the crowd,
The wise echoes of Elmer and Werner still ringing aloud.

Good lessons from teachers, you’ll be sure to learn a bunch!
So much knowledge, fueled by free breakfast and lunch.

Our school buses sit idle, but they are ready to roll.
Safe trips to school and back home are always the goal.

For 80 years, this community has been R-H proud.
Now is a good time to show your spirit; time to get loud.

As you close your eyes, the future is closer than it seems.
For tomorrow begins a new year of learning and dreams.

A million dreams have come through the school door,
And we stand ready to support at least a million more.

We are ready for a terrific new school year!

Rush-Henrietta employees gathered at the Senior High School today for our annual Staff Kickoff event. The morning began with an incredible performance by the RH Singers, followed by a speech by Lucy Mills, a member of the R-H Class of 2027, who shared a thoughtful reflection on this year’s theme, “A Million Dreams. One Legacy.”

Employees also heard inspiring messages from Board of Education President Scott Adair and Winslow Principal Jennifer Tomalty. Superintendent Dr. Barbara Mullen set the stage for the collective work ahead, guided by Year 3 of Rush-Henrietta's Vision 2037 Strategic Plan.

The excitement continued with a spirit contest where teams showcased their songs, reflections, and skits based on this year's theme. The Transportation and Operations Center won! They made the decision easy for the judges with their energetic dancing and a homemade mini-school bus that was driven into the gymnasium and stole the show. We loved to see the creativity on display!

The Royal Comets cheerleaders rounded out the event by giving employees an amazing sendoff before everyone headed back to their buildings to continue a full day of preparation.

The first day of classes is Thursday, September 3. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to school. Rush-Henrietta is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. We look forward to supporting more of our students' dreams this school year!

Kindergarten Bus Orientation

Incoming kindergartners had an opportunity to learn all about school bus safety before the start of school. With the help of our bus drivers and monitors, the young Royal Comets learned how to safely cross the street, how to get on and off the bus, and danger zones to be aware of when near a bus. They even got to ride a school bus! Thank you to the Transportation Department for their work in putting this event together.
