This past Friday, we celebrated our former Program Administrator, Kim Mehrkens', retirement. Kim worked for the Regional Alternative School for almost 30 years. She will keep busy in her retirement by working part-time at St. Mary's Catholic School in Pontiac. And you may even see her as a substitute teacher at RAS! Thank you, Kim!

Last week, students in Ms. Z's ecology class created soda can holders out of recycled materials without plastic.
