For the upcoming EOC’s December 6-11 we are in need of proctors to assist with testing.  Proctors are required now for every test to include the state final exam.  If you know any family, community members or friends ask them to come and help us out.  For more information contact the school office at (910) 488-8415

Happy Thanksgiving

         Reid Ross Classical School is hosting a Blood Drive!
         Date:       November 25, 2013
         Time:      8:00 am – 2:30pm
         Where:   RRCS Cafe Parking Lot

         Please support our school and community with this worthy cause!

          The need is constant. The gratification is instant.  Give Blood!
    

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!

 We have our Fall Edition of the AIG Newsletter.  Please click here.
