Partnering with Parents…

As part of our continued commitment to partner with parents to provide an exceptional experience for our students, RGNS hosted three guest speakers during the 2006-2007 spring semester. We welcomed to campus three experienced individuals who are dedicated to helping educators foster a learning environment that supports the academic and social development of young people. During the 2007-2008 school year, we will host four individual on campus as part of the Partnering with Parents series. For information about the 2007-2008 speakers: Guest Speakers at RGNS

Faculty/Staff Appreciation Luncheon

The Gap Connection hosts an annual Faculty/Staff appreciation Luncheon in the spring, serving a delicious homemade meal to our faculty & staff. The theme was “You are Life Savers.” Thank you to our thoughtful and generous parents for a wonderful lunch and a fun afternoon.

Eagle Dollar Auctions

The Gap Connection introduced a project in the spring of 2007 called Eagle Rewards to acknowledge students’ random acts of kindness. As appropriate, students were awarded Eagle Dollars for these acts and were then able to purchase items at an auction with their Eagle Dollars. Pictured below are: Top - middle school students with their winnings along with auctioneers Daniel Ostojic ‘99 (front left) and Boris Stankic ‘99 (far right) and Below - upper school auctioneers, L-R Stan Sonu ‘02 and Chris Shepherd.
