Disability, Anti-Bullying, and Resilience: Students at RVS and PMG recently participated in an assembly with motivational speaker on bullying, and resilience, Dr. Paul Wichansky. Dr. Wichansky recounted his life story during the program titled, "Taking the 'Dis' out of Disability," where he encouraged students to keep a positive attitude and to believe in themselves. RVS School Mural: This spring students at RVS will be working on a school-wide mural with artist-in-residence, Dan Fenelon. A small group of student council members met with the artist to plan for the location and design of the mural. You may have seen this artist's work in the PMG cafeteria, where he and the second and third graders completed a beautiful mural in 2018. We can't wait to see the results of the RVS project! Clinton Township Middle School This Spring, seventh grade Social Studies classes dissected the American Revolution and were tasked with creating a new government for our young nation.
