Yesterday Mr. Eberly and Mr. Carte took some students on a trip to Washington, D.C. to watch a Washington Nationals baseball game. Students rode the metro into D.C. and learned how to read the train map and were able to navigate to get back home. The students and teachers had a great time exploring the city and enjoying the game.
The middle school students have been working hard in their garden over the spring and last week they shared their bounty of kale with faculty and staff!
RockBurg Feeds Network is a collaborative effort of many non-profits and service providers to provide food to families experiencing food insecurity. Feel free to share this flyer.
Teachers and students worked together over the past week to weed, mulch, plant, and beautify our flower beds in the parking lot and around the school. Teamwork makes the dream work and the outcome looks great!
Selecting, measuring, cutting, sanding, gluing, burning, oiling. These are many steps the Rockingham Academy Agriculture students completed to make 50 beautiful, handmade cutting boards for the RCPS Human Resources Department. These cutting boards will be given as gifts for some special RCPS employees.

Thursday evening students from Rockingham Academy attended the Rockingham FFA Heritage Dinner. The purpose of the Heritage Dinner is to raise funds for the Rockingham County "Ag Fund" which supports Agricultural Education students who work hard and excel in FFA competitions and proficiencies but do not have the financial means to attend State and National activities.
Rockingham Academy students made two cutting boards which were auctioned off during the evening for over $400!
The CTE Job Fair held today at the Rockingham County Fair Grounds was an outstanding success! Our students excelled in making introductions, engaging with their well-prepared questions, and presenting their resumes to the employers they interacted with. Great job!
