Reeths-Puffer Schools will be closed Thursday, Dec. 5 due to weather conditions.
Parents...we need your help!
Each year, we ask parents, students, and staff to complete a survey about the culture of our buildings. It is important for us to create the best possible environment for each student to succeed and your feedback is important. An e-mail went out as well. If you did not fill the survey out in the e-mail, please take a minute to complete it now. This survey is just for the high school. Each building has their own link.
THANK YOU!
Consider these great opportunities for support or a quiet place to build a study routine.
It might be cold, but we're fired up this morning with Wood Tv8!
The morning was full of Rocket Spirit, student highlight, can drive, PALS highlight, and student reporting.
Go Rockets!
For adults and teens, time to reflect is a gift in a busy world. We are so thankful that Kofi B. joined us yesterday to learn, reflect, dream big, and inspire us to make it happen.
Kofi, two-time Emmy nominated artist and inspirational speaker, gave us so much to think about.
From the voice of his mother right to Rocket City:
What I am looking for is in me.
The past has no power over me.
Negative thoughts have no power over me.
Today is a wonderful day and a new beginning.
Because I choose to make it so.
Thank you to our student hosts, Charles and Olivia. Thank you Kofi!!
Reminder: We have high school conferences this week. Parents, be sure to read your e-mails for directions on how to schedule.

Help us give a hand to the Reeths-Puffer students and alumni that are participating in the Penguin Project this weekend. The Muskegon Civic Theatre's Penguin Project production of Beauty and the Beast opens this weekend!

Muskegon Civic Theatre was the very first chapter in the state of Michigan and we are so proud that this will be our seventh Penguin Production! Please feel free to share the photo and information regarding the show with your staff, school, and on your social media! We would love to see a full house this weekend! Performances are Saturday, September 7th at 7:00 PM and Sunday, September 8th at 3:00 PM. Both performances will take place in the Frauenthal Theater in downtown Muskegon.

We would also like to congratulate Kenzie Wilbur, along with her team, on a 4th pace finish for their table top creation in the Michigan Pro Start Invitational. The theme for this year’s design competition was “Mitten Made.” Drawing upon Michigan’s
history and culture for inspiration, students were required to present four main components including development of a menu, creation of a table setting, presentation of the table and the team’s ability to answer questions about their table using critical thinking skills.
The table looks amazing! Great job.
Congratulations to our RPHS CTC students that competed and won first and second place at the recent Michigan ProStart Competition, an annual culinary and management
competition hosted by the Michigan Hospitality Foundation. More than 400 high school students, representing 28 Michigan schools across the state, competed in the The competition helps students gain firsthand experience in critical industry skills like food safety, business management, menu development and marketing.
Using only two butane burners for cooking, students had to prepare an entrée, side option, and beverage in line with the National Restaurant Association’s Kids’ Live Well and USDA menu criteria for nutrition. The meals also had to pass the test of their target audience: kids.
Placing first in the state for nutrition, and earning a combined $28,000 in scholarships, was Eric Wildfong and his team. The team’s winning meal was a “Panda Power Box,” which featured Asian-inspired foods including brown rice, orange sauce,
white beam omelets, carrots, cucumbers, and dragon fruit. The students also paired the meal with a delicious iced bamboo tea and pineapple juice. The students provided recipes, menu price and a nutritional analysis for the meal, which was judged by industry professionals, as well as child judges, who scored the meals for presentation and taste to ensure the teams were appealing to their target audience.
Placing second in the same category was the Taco Fiesta menu created by teammates Ajay Bell and team. Their meal featured mini tacos, lettuce, tomato, sweet peppers, cilantro, scallions, lime, and Creamy Fiesta Sauce. Each teammate received a $1,000 scholarship
The first-place teams for the culinary and management categories of the competition move onto the National ProStart® Invitational. In addition, more than $500,000 in scholarships were available this year to students seeking to continue their post-secondary education in hospitality-related fieds.
Way to go Eric, Ajay, and teams. Way to go Rockets!
