AP Environmental Science Field Trip
AP Environmental Science students went with Mr. Shurter to perform their annual Aquatic Study on Tuesday 10/15. This is no ordinary field trip as students collected physical, chemical, and biological data from Paint Creek (a tributary to the Clinton River) and Trout Lake in Bald Mountain Recreation Area. It was a crisp but sunny day and the study was a major success. It was truly a day they will never forget. Students will be able to use their data to determine the water quality of each source and even share their results with the Clinton River Watershed Council which works with the Michigan DEQ. If you see an APES student, ask them about it!
Blessings in a Backpack
The Students in Mrs. Cosentino’s class, along with their family members, Mrs. Cox, Ms. Burke, volunteered with packaging up food for our local Blessings in a Backpack organization. Blessings In a Backpack is a “neighbor-helping-neighbor” program that is designed to help meet the nutritional needs of children and families. Each week, volunteers, distribute bags with enough non-perishable food for the weekend for students in our district. The goal of the Blessings in a Backpack program is to keep these students from going hungry on the weekends and remove barriers to academic success. We would like to thank Rochester High School parent, Mrs. Kim Williams for coordinating and leading this wonderful organization in our community.

Social Studies National Honor Society
RHS's Social Studies National Honor Society requested and was awarded a pop-up display from the National Archives in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Called Rightfully Hers: American Women and the Vote, this display contains messages about the expansion of the vote to women before and after the 19th amendment and its impact today.
In addition to the display, the Social Studies National Honor Society students donated 11 books to the Media Center to commemorate the subject and increase awareness of American women who've impacted history. |
