Students in Dual Credit Calculus worked on related rates using derivatives this week. Students measured the rate at which the radius of a pancake changed as it expanded each second and then used that information to calculate the rate at which the area was changing. Who knew Calculus could be so tasty?
A huge shout out to the RCHS custodial team for all the hard work they put into the building. Classes, lunches, sporting events, club meetings, school dances, all of it would not be possible without the care of the janitorial and maintenance staff.
Thank you Tara, Randy, Gary, Gavin, and Charles.

Our Intro to Teaching students had an incredible week of learning last week from professionals both inside and outside the classroom!
A huge thank you to our guest speakers who shared their expertise and gave our future educators a real-world look at some of the important responsibilities teachers face: Rylan Rusk - School Law, Jami Mills, DCFS - Mandated Reporting, Kristin Jurgilanis - Special Services, and Kerrie Weidner - Socioeconomic Diversity.
We also had the opportunity to see special services in action through classroom observations. Thank you to our RCMS teachers, Mrs. Page, Mrs. Clodfelter, and Mrs. Shoemaker, and our RCES teachers, Mrs. Rusk, Mrs. Daily, Mr. Taylor, and Mrs. Ochs, for opening their classrooms and allowing our students to learn from you.
We are incredibly grateful to all of these professionals for investing their time in the next generation of educators!

A big thank you to OCC President and former RCCU Superintendent Mr. Chris Simpson for taking the time to visit with our Intro to Teaching students!
Mr. Simpson shared his experience and insight on school governance, school funding, and the future challenges facing education. His unique perspective from serving in leadership at both the K–12 and higher education levels gave our future educators a valuable look at the bigger picture of how schools operate and the important decisions happening beyond the classroom.

Students in Mrs. Burgener's Intro to Business class used LEGOs for a hands-on interactive lesson. Each group represented a country and received a random supply of colored LEGO bricks representing raw materials, along with money to participate in the global economy. Students used their available resources to build needed products while trading and competing with other countries. Along the way, students experienced how access to resources, international trade, quotas, tariffs, and financial decisions can shape a country’s ability to compete. A fun way to turn international business concepts into real-world decision-making!
