Visual Arts students worked together to create an Installation Art Project out of discarded paper. Students made paper cones individually and then combined them into one collective artwork. Come check it out in Trophy Row at RPHS!

Great books spark great conversations!

Our students laugh, debate, and dive deep into stories that make them think, feel, and grow.

Every brushstroke tells a story — of miles run, goals met, and a team united by trust and heart. A beautiful gift from one of our runners (Maya) to a coach who has inspired every step of the journey. We thought it was too beautiful not to share.

Seniors- place your Jostens cap and gown orders by next Tuesday (10/28/25)! June 2nd will be here before we know it!

The classroom turned into a human enzyme lab! Predictions, experiments, and a whole lot of figuring out what works (and what doesn’t). Learning, laughs, and a little chaos helped our students see how temperature, concentration, and inhibitors affect reactions.!

📚 Homework Workshop is Up and Running!

Homework Workshop is a great way for students to get extra help from teachers or NHS tutors and is a quiet, supervised space to get homework done after school.

✅ Supervised by three teachers of a variety of subjects each day.
✅ Teachers can assign students to Homework Workshop to receive extra help and/or get caught up in their class.
✅Students receive a slip once signed up so they know when to attend and parents would receive an email from that teacher as well.

Please encourage your student to attend if they need support, want help from tutors, or just need time and space to focus on schoolwork. Thank you for continuing to support our students’ success!

If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Bayle (bayles@reeths-puffer.org)
