Red, White and Back the Blue

On most days at Rummel Creek you wouldn't want to see a Police squad car on the campus, however, on Friday October 30th, the students were thrilled to see the officers drive up.  Friday, the students were celebrating law enforcement officers.  Friday was our Spirit Rally for Red Ribbon Week, we just jazzed it up to Red, White and Back the Blue!



Sometime in September, the students began to prepare.  They wrote songs, poems, letters, and more to honor the officers.  A student lead team planned the event, created the invitation and followed through to make sure everything was in place.  A fifth grade Girl Scout troop even made special cookies to give to the officers.

The Stratford Band and Cheerleaders joined in the celebration and an RCE Boy Scout troop presented the flags.  Students shared their songs through video, the choir sang, the Rockin' Roadrunners performed and one student shared both music and writing.  It was a great celebration.

After the hour long Spirit Rally, the officers were treated to a reception sponsored by Chic-fil-a and Starbucks.  It was a great day for all.
