Over 300 8th-grade students from Rossview Middle School attended
an overview of high-school life on Monday afternoon in the RHS
theater. After a quick stroll from RMS, the students heard
presentations from the ASG President, Meredith Hausauer, and the
sponsor, Mrs. Carolyn Ferrell. Mr. Michael Tharpe, Athletic Director,
gave the incoming athletes lots of good advice, and one of the
library media specialists, Mrs. Ellen Taylor, invited the students to
attend the summer reading hours (Fridays, 9 A.M. to noon) in the RHS
library. AP Phyllis Ervin hosted a fashion show for dress code "do's"
and "don't's", and SFC Carol Brewington had her cadets give a quick
overview of the JROTC program. A video presentation by the RTV crew
demonstrated the various speech and theater possibilities for
incoming students, and the ITS (International Thespian Society)
members recited a poem "Twas the Night Before High School", written
by drama coach LuEllyn Wilcox. Finally, the chorus sang two songs,
and the cheerleaders finished up with a rousing routine. RHS would
like to welcome our new freshmen! Here are some photos of the
occasion:
