RPS families - It's the end of the quarter, which means there is no school tomorrow, Friday, January 19 for most schools. Longfellow Elementary is still in session. Staff will be participating in a PD day. Stay warm, and we'll see the rest of you students on Monday!
Century High School is holding a blood drive for students and staff on January 24th & 25th. Every 10 minutes, someone in Olmsted County urgently needs a blood transfusion. Your simple act of donating blood can save the life of a premature baby, restore the strength of a cancer patient, or provide a critical transfusion to an accident victim. Plus, there are yummy cookies, a free t-shirt for first-time donors – and the feel-good buzz of saving up to three lives – waiting for you after your donation! The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Program will be in the cafeteria during lunch on Thursday, January 18th answering questions and signing up any interested blood donors.
Today we celebrate, remember, and reflect on the incredible life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - "Life's most persistent question is: What are you doing to serve others?"
Happy Makar Sankranti to those who celebrate!
Happy Orthodox New Year to those who celebrate!
Activities, games, programs, and practices on Saturday, January 13, will continue as scheduled. Please allow extra time for travel. Reach out to your coach or activities director with additional questions.
