Mrs. Suhre's class has been reading about the NASA OSIRIS-REx Mission. NASA was able to obtain a sample from the asteroid Bennu and brought it back to earth, dropping it in a desert in Utah for scientists to retrieve and study. Last week, Mrs. Suhre's class made their own asteroids and created three versions of Landers. Their goal was to successfully drop the asteroids from space (the classroom window) to Utah (the ground) without hurting the asteroid. Everyone had fun, but only one person was successful in keeping their asteroid safe on the trip to earth!

Last Friday Mr. Son taught our 6th-grade students about ratios by having them make pancakes during class. What an incredible way to unlock the understanding of ratios with our students. Great job, Mr. Son!
The only question I have about the lesson is why didn't Mrs. Brannon or I get any pancakes????
We can't hide our Shell pride! We are so proud of our fall athletes!

Good morning, RJHS families!
Tomorrow afternoon we have our big HOUSE REVEAL ASSEMBLY where all new students get sorted into one of our four houses. If you have a returning student who is already in a House, please send them tomorrow in their House shirt. If that shirt no longer fits, any shirt of that color will do.
We have a great year planned for our Houses, so stay on the lookout for an upcoming video we will share in which we discuss the exciting changes for this year and the ways that you can partner with us.
It is not too late to become a House Sponsor for 2023-24. We would like to send a giant THANK YOU to those local businesses that have agreed to partner with us already. Please support them and tell them thank you for what they are doing for the students at Roxana Junior High School.
