Congratulations to our 10/31/25 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. Our Responsibility quote of the week comes from Eleanor Roosevelt, the 26th First Lady of the United States, and she says, “In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves…and the choices we make are ultimately our own Responsibility.” Choices that shape our lives include who we are friends with, what we eat, contribute to our health, or the effort we put into our work. We need to work hard to make positive choices. We are so proud of our students. Keep up the GREAT work! It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Be Responsible #wacinyapicawaun

Last week RVHS students had the opportunity to attend the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities Goldy Early Access Event. The event gave juniors and seniors a head start in navigating the college search process and equipping them with the knowledge to thrive in their future academic endeavors. Students toured the campus, learned about the admissions and financial aid process as well as hearing for a diverse U of M student panel.

Today, 9th Graders at RVHS took part in the 13th Annual Commitment to Graduation Ceremony. Upon entering the PAC, Pomp and Circumstances was playing, and students sat in Homerooms. One by one, the students' names were called to receive a mini-diploma and lanyard, and they signed a banner committing to graduating in four years. This banner will be on display in the commons until the class of 2029 graduates. Great job students!

In an effort to engage students in interpersonal conversations, as well as playing games that do not involve an electronic device, the RVHS Media Center has purchased board games including Chess and oversized cards. These students are playing "Garbage", which is a card game. Thanks to Mr. Scoates for this great idea!

Earlier this month, RVHS students attended the Cardinal Future Ready event. The goal of the event was to prepare students for life after high school with interactive sessions covering a wide variety of topics including budgeting, healthy living, taxes, the FAFSA and more. After the sessions students in grades 11 and 12 heard from Luke Greiner, a Data Analysis at the Department of Employment and Economic Development. He discussed careers in demand as well as education and training needed specifically for careers in Southwest Minnesota. Students in 9th and 10th grade took time to review their own personal interests and future goals through a Personal Learning Plan. Thank you to all our community members who helped make the day a success!
