The Week in Review, May 18-22

Important News & Celebrations:

We had an amazing Showcase of Student Learning Day on Thursday, May 21. We would like to thank all those that visited including district personnel, parents, and other distinguished guests. We are so proud of all our leaders that were able to present - we had a piano player, a TaeKwonDo master, reader leaders, and more! Let's help spread the word that Rice Creek Leads Today and Learns Today!

Congratulations to our 2015 District Champions! Our Reader's Challenge team won the district competition on May 13. Go reader leaders!
