Graduation is an accomplishment for all of our seniors, but for our Indigenous students, their celebration began at our annual American Indian Education Powwow on May 4th, 2024. At the powwow, seniors received an eagle feather to recognize their education milestone and to reflect the honor the graduate brings to their family, community, and tribal nations.

A joyful time by seniors, staff and younger students on the Senior Walk this morning. We will post a drive with photos in it later today week... but here are a few.
The traditional Senior Walk today at John Marshall HS started in the halls of JM before heading to RPS middle and elementary schools. Congratulations JM Seniors!
At last night's School Board meeting, the Board voted to place a referendum on the November 5 ballot seeking $19.4 million annually to protect and enhance educational programs and student services. The referendum would support the district’s new investment plan to “Ignite Student Learning.” Guided by feedback from residents, this plan was developed to stabilize our operating budget, strengthen our curriculum, and support the programs that will ensure our students are ready for life after graduation.

Today Mrs Kraske's Creative Writing class went to Mrs. Lash’s kindergarten class at Washington. The kindergarteners made monsters. The JM students asked them questions about their monsters to write a story about each of them. Then we went back and gave them the stories.
