Today is National School Nurse Day, and we’re sending a big Rocket thank you to our awesome healthcare heroes who keep our students safe, comforted, and cared for every single day. ❤️ Mrs. Treto – for being the calming presence at the Elementary School. ❤️ Miss Gina – for being the Elementary CNA who’s always one step ahead. ❤️ Mrs. Smith – for holding it down at the Middle School with heart and hustle! ❤️ Mrs. Forgie – our District RN and High School go-to for everything health-related (and more!) From ice packs to tough conversations to helping kids (and adults) feel seen and supported, you do it all. Without you, we’d be lost in a sea of sniffles, nurse passes, and mystery stomachaches.

Even though April’s Month of the Military Child has come to a close, we’re proud to spotlight Rose Hill Senior Adam Bilby – featured in VYPE Kansas thanks to Davis Moore Chevrolet! With both parents proudly serving in the U.S. Air Force, Adam was raised with high expectations, discipline, and a no-quit mentality, lessons that have shaped him on and off the field. Those values helped prepare him for the demands of athletics and are now propelling him toward his next chapter at Virginia Military Institute, where he plans to pursue a career as a Green Beret in the U.S. Army. 💪🇺🇸 🔗 Read more about Adam’s journey: https://southcentralksvype.com/featured/rose-hills-adam-bilby-athlete-spotlight-presented-by-davis-moore-chevrolet/

Last week, 15 of Mrs. Reed's Zoology students volunteered with zoo staff at the Sedgwick County Zoo, helping with animal care and getting hands-on experience with what it's like to be a zookeeper. From cleaning bird ponds to observing black swan wellness checks and prepping meals for mammals, our students went above and beyond! Afterwards, they were able to enjoy some of the other exhibits including the baby elephants and their adorable zoomies! That's not all! -- A special shoutout to the group, who were complimented by a fellow zoo visitor for their outstanding work ethic and respectful behavior.
