📚✨ Exciting Author Visit at RCS! ✨📚

We were thrilled to welcome award-winning author Pablo Cartaya to RCS this week! Students had the amazing opportunity to participate in interactive writing workshops where they explored storytelling, creativity, and the power of finding their own voice.

Cartaya inspired our young writers with his passion, humor, and insight into the writing process. It was an unforgettable experience that encouraged students to think big and write boldly! ✍️🌟

A huge thank-you to Pablo Cartaya for spending the day with us and sparking so much creativity in our school community!

🎉 Congratulations to our GCR Varsity Girls Soccer, Varsity Boys Soccer, and Varsity Golf teams for being named NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete Teams! 🎉
To earn this honor, 75% of the team must hold a GPA of 90+ — and they delivered!

These athletes proved they can get it done both on their respective greens and in the classroom. 🏆📚
We’re so proud of you all. Outstanding accomplishment—keep up the great work!

The players wear matching dark uniforms and hold soccer balls, with coaches standing at each side. Right: A boys’ varsity soccer team stands together in front of another goal, also on a grassy field. They wear dark uniforms with numbers in gold. Bottom center: A smaller group photo shows the varsity golf team standing outdoors in front of a sign and landscaping. They are dressed casually or in school-related athletic clothing. A large, red “A+” graphic appears near the center, symbolizing academic achievement.

🏀 GAME DAY! 🏀
Tonight our GCR JV and Varsity Girls Basketball Teams take on Hunter-Tannersville, and trust us—you’re gonna want a seat for this one.

🕠 JV Tip-Off: 5:30 PM
🕖 Varsity Tip-Off: 7:00 PM

Come pack the stands at the Hunter-Tannersville High School! The girls are ready to play hard, cheer loud, and hopefully not dribble the ball off their own feet (no promises). 😄

Bring your voices, bring your energy, and maybe bring an extra snack because yelling “DEFENSE!” burns calories.

💙🤍 Let’s make some noise, GCR!

❄️ SNOW DAY ALERT! ❄️ School will be CLOSED today due to snow… and because even our parking lot decided to disappear under a fluffy white blanket. 😅 Students: enjoy sleeping in. Teachers: enjoy pretending you’re going to catch up on grading. Everyone: stay warm, stay safe, and resist the urge to build a snowman that looks suspiciously like your superintendent. ⛄😂

A winter-themed illustration shows a gentle snowy landscape under a pale blue sky filled with falling snowflakes. At the top, playful handwritten text reads “hello WINTER,” decorated with small drawn snowflakes. Beneath it, a caption says, “It’s time to enjoy a cup of warm chocolate and the refreshing beauty of snow.” In the foreground, two cheerful snowmen stand on opposite sides. The one on the left has a round, plush-looking body with a carrot nose, button eyes, and twig arms. The one on the right wears a blue knitted hat with earflaps and a matching scarf. Behind them are soft mounds of snow, bare winter trees, and a tiny cottage with smoke curling from the chimney, giving the scene a cozy, quiet feeling.
Due to the weather, RCS is closed 12/2/25. Please be safe.
