Here at Reid Ross Classical School we are so proud of our new Fraternity!  With much consideration, Mr. Rangel McLaurin, sponsor of our Fraternity, choose the young men that could prove their dynamic commitment to self-improvement through the re-shaping of character and the implementation of effective decision-making skills  The Swag Phi Smooth Fraternity is an organization of young males who show noticeable potential for development as young leaders.  Leaders make the world better because they make themselves better.  The Self-Improvement philosophy is centered around the SHAPE Principle.

We would like to congratulate our very own, Haley Michael.  She is a Junior here at Reid Ross and was nomiated by Mrs. Milton, our Media Coordinator.  Mrs. Milton said she showed “extraordinary responsibility as a media assistant” while she was out on family leave.  Haley is always willing to take responsibility and complete any task assigned her with minimal supervision.  When a task needs to be done, Haley is always the first of the students to volunteer and the task is done quickly and conscientiously.  We are all proud of you!!

Monday kicked off our “Students Against Hunger” food drive, partnered with Second Harvest.  The Second Harvest Food Bank’s mission is to feed the hungry in Southeast North Carolina by soliciting and judiciously distributing healthy food and grocery products through a network of nonprofit partners and to be an advocate that educated the community on the problems of and solutions to domestic hunger.842 million people in the world do not get enough to eat.  About 45% of  children die by the age of five due to malnourishment.  Although those are statistics for around the world, charity starts at home.  We will be hosting this food drive from October 28 through November 25, 2013.  Anyone is welcome to drop off non-perishable foods at Reid Ross or the Second Harvest Food Bank.  Be sure to check your cabinets and donate!
