The 3rd grade students added an ostinato or a repeated rhythmic/melodic part to their song, Shake the Papaya down.
Rock Hills shop students put their mechanics and problem solving skills to the test, and assembled three brand new picnic tables. Mrs. Walker's class wrote a grant for the picnic tables last year. They are a great new addition to our school.
The Rock Hills FBLA chapter is selling blankets. Here are our blanket options. The dark and light gray are made of a sweatshirt material. The black has a waterproof outside and fleece inside. They are also able to be customized!
Rock Hills has started a positive behavior intervention system that is called 'Super Slips' in order to receive a super slip the student must be seen representing the R (responsibility), H (honorable) or S (successful). After receiving a super slip the student brings the slip to the office and is given a small prize then at the end of each month slips are drawn for a larger prize. This months winners were Camden Ward (11) and Autumn McCormick (7). Congratulations!
Good luck to the Rock Hills fall sports teams as they start competition this week! Let's Go Grizzlies!
Members of the Rock Hills High School Future Business Leaders of America chapter attended the National Leadership Conference this summer. The event was held in Atlanta, Georgia, from June 27 to 30. The 6 members that qualified and advanced to this competition were Davin Coil, Savannah Coil, Hannah Simmelink, Bethany Simmelink, Allison Ost, and Faith Reinert, who traveled with their advisor, Jill Griffith. They competed against over 8,700 high school students from nearly 1,600 high schools. Even with the tough standards at this event, two of the local members placed in the top ten. Davin Coil received sixth place in Supply Chain Management, and Hannah Simmelink was awarded fifth place in Agribusiness. Savannah Coil competed in Spreadsheet Applications, Bethany Simmelink competed in Introduction to Business Presentation, Allison Ost competed in Introduction to Financial Math, and Faith Reinert competed in Introduction to Parliamentary Procedures. This was Davin Coil’s last year in FBLA being the group’s only senior, but each of the other members will be returning and have hopes of competing at next year’s conference held in Orlando.
The FFA and FBLA had the Back to School BBQ on Saturday, August 26th. The officer teams explained to other members and students what their organizations were about and their goals for this year. Everyone had fun enjoying the food and playing some games.
