What a fun evening watching our student athletes play the sports they love. Our Gatorade scrimmage was a great success and loved seeing all that summer work paying off for our students. Shout-out to our coaches for the preparation that goes into it every day. Lastly, thank you #ChargerNation for your support and attendance at both events! I love the pride our community has for our kids! Great job to everyone and looking forward to the upcoming seasons. #RPSway #BeACharger⚡⚡

Nothing like a competive game of bocce and badminton to introduce students to the class Outdoor Pursuits. We also have our one-act students preping their acting skills with a little roleplaying. Their coaches gave a perfect demonstration! Great things happening at @RSChargers!

Today was the first day of Ms. Ragar's PK! There were many smiles, a few tears and some sad parents leaving their babies behind BUT the little ones did fantastic! Looking forward to seeing them all tomorrow! #RPSway #BeACharger⚡⚡
