Attention 4th Grade Parents,
Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 29th, Mr. Avila's 4th Grade class will be traveling to Dry Falls Interpretative Center for their ROAR Adventure.
Due to the distance we will be away from school, please make sure to have your child properly dressed for inclement weather as we will be outside most of the day. Also, it may be a good idea to pack extra healthy snacks in addition to a school lunch that may be provided.
It is important to inform parents this adventure will extend beyond the end of the regular school day. This will require you to make arrangements to pick up your child after school hours.
Our return time will be approximately 4:30-5:00 on Wednesday, March 29th.
Thank you for your help and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Mr. Avila.

On Wednesday, Miss King's 3rd grade ROAR adventure took students to Stonerose Interpretive Center. Stonerose experts guided the class on the proper technique of splitting rocks to better find fossils. After lunch, students then learned how to identify different fossils using their scientific observation skills. Finally to end the day, students were allowed to gather fossils they discovered at the dig site and were also given a special tour of the Republic Historical Society Museum.
A big thank you goes out to Travis Wellman, Andy Brockett, Madelaine Perry, and Mary Rourke for making this adventure possible and their support for the students of Republic School District.
St. Patrick's Day last week brought much fun to Republic High School. The STACC club (Students Taking Action for Community Change) hosted a 3 on 3 basketball tournament on March 16th. The team called Sum of 4 won the "Best Dressed" category as being crowned tournament champions. Also last week, National Honor Society hid a leprechaun every day for the RHS students to find. The daily winners received a gift bag loaded with goodies. NHS also taped hand written shamrock notes to every students locker in the high school. Way to go STACC and NHS for being positive leaders in the school!

Last Saturday, the Republic Schools Archery Club attended the National Archery in the Schools Program state competition in Deer Park. All the of the archers performed at a high level and were excellent representatives for our community.
Congratulations to Trey Cromwell who shot a 276/300 which placed him 7th in the entire state for high school boys and qualifies him to compete at Nationals in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Recently, Mrs. Torweski’s Kindergarten class visited Anderson’s Grocery, the Republic Library, 18 North Kitchen, and The Outfitters to meet the local business owners and learn about each of their different stores.
Next, Mrs. Campbell’s class toured the Republic Post Office. Postmaster Artie McRae gave the 1st graders a behind the scenes look at how the mail is sorted and delivered to all the residents of Republic. After the Post Office tour, the 1st graders walked to the Republic Volunteer Fire Department hall where local firefighters allowed students to sit in the driver’s seat of a real fire engine and taught important fire prevention information.
The ROAR adventure trips would not be possible without the support of community members like these who donated their personal time for our elementary students.
