Thursday morning RAS hosted a FAFSA workshop for our seniors and their parents. The Illinois Student Assistance Commission joined us to help facilitate the workshop and answer any questions our families had about the process of applying for student aid.

It is always nice to be back in the building after two days of professional development at the Illinois Principal's Association Fall Conference. I had a great opportunity to learn, discuss current challenges, network and enhance my overall skills.

The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation stopped by RAS today and delivered a check to Mrs. Quick. She was one of their grant recipients and now has $750 to expand cooking opportunities for students at RAS! Thank you, IRTAF, for your support!

Mr. Kendall and Mr. Folkens were able to visit Rivian for their First Mile R1T Preview. It was a great opportunity to experience their new vehicle and bring back what they learned about a local manufacturer. They are looking forward to sharing what they learned with the students at RAS!
