KNIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Oscar Worthy Trivia Knight!

Student Trivia Knight was held this past Friday.  Always a student favorite with a near sellout crowd!

SHOUT OUT to our AWESOME MC's, Mr. Luensmann and Mrs. Budd! They helped us out of a bind at the 11th hour and we couldn't have asked for better MC's!  Thank you!

THANK YOU to Stephanie Stempf, Stephanie Sandberg, Cristal Conrad, Jennifer Taylor, the numerous parent volunteers and LHS student volunteers that made the entire trivia night the best we have seen! We couldn't do it with out your continued support and we appreciate you!

THANK YOU to the RVMS teachers, staff, administration, SRO and custodial staff that supported this event and worked tirelessly to make it a success.  Thank you!

And the Oscar Goes to...

The Magnificent 10 for the most correct answers overall! Well Done!

Best Table Decorations
KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE
K.O.R.T. Celebrations

One of the trivia questions from Friday night! What does the acronym K.O.R.T. stand for? 

It stands for Knights Of the Round Table.  

Congratulations to all the students that earned and maintained a grade point average of 3.5 or higher this school year.  Grades 6, 7 & 8 were recognized and awarded for their academic excellence last week.

HUGE THANK YOU to JENNY ARCHAMBEAULT for her 3+ years of volunteer service with the PSO! Jenny has been the backbone of our Student Celebrations Committee and has done a MAGNIFICENT job! Hers are going to big shoes to fill. We wish Jenny all the best as she graduates out of RVMS and focuses on her students at LHS. Thank you, Jenny!
