Educational Highlight!
RCS introduced an Occupational Course of Study (OCS) this year. A couple of weeks ago Mrs. Wendy Yarboro and her 3 freshmen conducted an experiment on acid rain in class. It was based on the premise of acid rain being known to destroy paintings, monuments, and buildings. In the experiment, they used carbonated soda to serve as the acid rain and chalk as the limestone, which is used in buildings and statues. After the experiment, the students answered questions about the experiment. They had a great time!

Auditions for this fall's production of "Sister Act Jr" will be on September 9th and 10th with callbacks on the 11th from 3:00-5:30 p.m.
For auditions, you will be singing with a group and doing a cold read (which means reading from a script you have never seen before). If you are interested in a role that sings a solo in the show, you will stay and sing part of a song of your choice that shows off your voice. It does not have to be from Sister Act (in fact, we would prefer it isn't).
Audition forms will be in Ms. Jones' room and should be filled out to be returned to Ms. Jones before or at auditions. If you have any questions, you can email Ms. Jones at jonesja@roxborocommunityschool.org.
