RVMS Professional Development this morning was spent on teachers sharing Best Practices and it was time well spent! Celina Goodman, RVMS Counselor, shared ideas for Socio-Emotional lessons and tips; Will Rose, 6th grade Math teacher, shared classroom management strategies assigning student jobs; Tawna Brown, 7th grade ELA teacher, shared differentiation strategies; and Melissa Tippit, Special Education Math teacher, shared accessibility strategies for struggling students. Thank you to a group of parents who brought goodies and muffins for our teachers this morning! Such a nice surprise and we appreciate you! GO ELKS! #ALLIN
RVMS is thankful for our Youth Council for supporting our students!
RVMS was honored to welcome motivational guest speaker, Gian Paul Gonzalez, to our school this week. He brought a message of being "All In" in everything you do, work through the hard things in life, it is never too late to turn things around, and to always push yourself to become the best version of yourself. He even stayed a little longer to sign autographs and invited our Student Council and Youth Council students to a bonus session on leadership and how to encourage their peers to be kind. He gave students an "All In" chip to keep in their pockets as a reminder of the message. We received a grant from Title IX for the motivational speaker and we appreciate this investment in our students!
RVMS was placed on temporary Shelter in Place as a precaution while RVPD had an incident in the neighborhood around the school. The All Clear was given by Chief Merrill and the Shelter has been lifted.
RVES had a great turnout and a lot of fun at our Pumpkin Painting night. Thank you to everyone that helped out, donated and to everyone that showed up to make it a success. Happy Fall Y'All!
RVPS 1st Graders had a blast at Hancock Farms in SJ. The students learned about corn, made popcorn, followed clues to make it through the corn maze, and saw farm animals! 🌽 🐷 🐐
RVMS is excited to host a motivational guest speaker on Thursday, October 24. Gian Paul Gonzalez (pronounced John-Paul), will be speaking to our students starting at 10:00 a.m. in the RVMS Gym.
Prior to the Giant’s 2011 Christmas Eve game with the NY Jets, Gonzalez delivered the now famous “ALL IN” rally cry message during the Giants’ chapel service and is now widely recognized as having inspired the New York Giants to their Super Bowl victory and was featured on ESPN on Super Bowl Sunday, and has had notable appearances on Fox News, ABC and CNN. He has traveled across the nation as a motivational speaker for the NBA’s Portland Trailblazers, to the Army Cadets at West Point, United States Air Force, Anheuser-Busch, Sam’s Club, Patch.com, PNC Bank, DSW Shoes as well as many other corporate, athletic, government agencies, and educational institutions.
Next day after Gian Paul’s message the Giants beat the Jets 29-14. In a post game interview, Giant’s Defensive End, Justin Tuck credited the chapel speaker’s (Gian Paul) message of being “All In” as the reason the Giants won that day. The team went on to win every game, up to and including Super Bowl XLVI, where they beat the New England Patriots 21-17.
"ALL IN' is not a slogan, it's a LIFEstyle.
