Next week we celebrate Gen Tex Week at Rummel Creek. It is a fun week of activities emphasizing careers and post-secondary education.
During the week, we encourage adults to share their post secondary education experiences with children. You may have attended and / or graduated from a college or university, a junior college, a trade/ technical school or a specialized school such as the Police Academy. You may also have had special seminars or on the job training since you have started your career. Please take time to share with your children your memories and experiences of your education and training following high school. At the same time share with them your hopes for their future education and careers.
Please join us in emphasizing the importance of post high school education by talking to your children about attending colleges and specialized schools. To support our Gen Tex emphasis at RCE, please participate in the activities we have planned at RCE.

Student Council
So proud of the work that our Student Council does. Today they sorted and boxed up all of the food we collected for the WAIS food pantry. Fourth grade student council also helped in picking up around the school. It is nice to see students working hard to benefit others.
The library was a busy busy place today as students sorted and boxed! So much food!
Someone even sent prepackaged "Backpack Blessings." The students at WAIS will be blessed!
It took teamwork to make this job short and sweet. In less than 20 minutes the food was sorted and boxed. Way to go Student Council!
Thank you Student Council for making a difference!

Love it when we make the media!
It's so nice to open the Houston Chronicle and see two articles about Rummel Creek on the front page of the neighborhood news.
One is about our new construction - yeah.....we're almost there....January here we come!
The second one is about a former student, Sydney Hemphill. I love seeing information about former Roadrunners and all they have accomplished. I looked at the photo of Sydney and she still has the award wining smile she had when she was a student at RCE. As I read the article, I am so proud to see the strong amazing young lady she has become. Congratulations Sydney on your accomplishments.
We have had some amazing students come through our doors. Please update us on the accomplishments of your children, grandchildren or any former students from RCE. It's nice to see what becomes of former RCE students and where their paths have gone.

So many things....so little time
Rummel Creek is a busy place. So many things are filling up the calendar....we're looking at October already!
October 30th is our Red, White and Back the Blue spirit rally. Students are busy writing songs, creating videos and putting things together for this celebration for law enforcement.
Last week of October is Book Fair. Again this year we will travel over to the Barnes and Noble book store in Town and Country. Teachers will have wish lists, the Fiddlers and the Choir will sing, and student art will be displayed. It will be a fun week of activities.
Read Across the Globe will happen at RCE this year. Reading is one of our big goals this year. Are your primary students participating in the Primary Reading Motivation Program? Turn in your child's reading logs each week. Intermediate students are participating in the Bluebonnet Award Program. Everyone at RCE is reading!
We love to share success stories about our RCE students. Last year, Parker Samuelson, a fifth grade student decided to respond to a writer's prompt from Scholastic News. How exciting it was for the students to open up this month's edition and find Parker's picture and his response to the question. Way to go Parker! Memorial Middle School you have a PUBLISHED AUTHOR!

WAIS Food Drive
Last year, the fourth grade student council decided to do a food drive for WAIS as they begin their food pantry. Unfortunately, the year came to a close before we were able to complete it. The students came back together this week and have put the food drive together. We are collecting canned food, pastas and more for the WAIS Food Pantry.
The student entitled this Food Drive as Return the Favor to WAIS. WAIS has been our host school for the past months as we wait for our new school to be built. They have loaned us their cafeteria, gym, and even the theater for all kinds of activities. This food drive is to thank them for sharing with us.
WAIS has many students who are in need. This food drive will make a big difference in the lives of those students. If every child at RCE brings ONE item to donate, we'll start their Food Pantry off with a bang. If every child at RCE brings TWO items, I think they will be looking for more space. If every child at RCE brings THREE items, their pantry will be able to provide for all of their needs for a little while.
Thank you RCE families for sharing with our host campus.
