Currently, our softball players practice and compete at a field managed by the City of Rose Hill, while our baseball players have a dedicated field right on campus.
As part of our commitment to equity, we believe our girls deserve a field of their own—a place that matches the pride and spirit they bring to their sport every day. 💪🥎
Providing equitable facilities aligns with the principles of Title IX, which advocates for equal opportunities in athletics for all students. Supporting this bond would allow us to build a designated softball field 𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀, ensuring our softball players have the same quality resources as our baseball players.
The City does a great job managing the fields but building this field on our campus would allow us to manage the facilities directly, ensuring that maintenance and security standards match the level we maintain across all school facilities.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? One of the key components of the upcoming bond issue is a complete upgrade of the Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) room at RHHS? Why Upgrading Mrs. Evans’ FACS Classroom is Essential: 👃 Improved Ventilation and Safety: Currently, the FACS room has only one vent that directs air into the class next door (*cough cough* ... Sorry Mr. Grier!). This leads to overpowering smells when students are cooking, requiring them to open doors and windows. Not only does this disrupt the learning environment, but it also creates potential security issues. Upgrading the ventilation system will ensure a safe and comfortable atmosphere, allowing students to focus on their work without distractions. 🛠️ Reliable Appliances and Equipment: The appliances in the FACS room are often in need of repair. An upgraded classroom will provide reliable equipment that enhances the educational experience. Students will be able to learn vital cooking, sewing, and design skills without the frustration of malfunctioning tools. 📦 Adequate Storage Space: Currently, there isn't enough storage for materials and cooking/baking needs. Upgraded cabinets and storage solutions will create an organized and efficient workspace, allowing students to access everything they need easily. 👩🏫 Comprehensive Learning Opportunities: Nearly EVERY HS student will take a class in Mrs. Evans’ FACS classroom, whether it's Foods, Textiles, Interior Design, Teaching as a Career, or Family & Parenting. An upgraded space will not only enhance their learning but also foster essential life skills. These courses are critical in preparing students for real-life situations, from cooking nutritious meals to understanding household management. By voting YES on November 5th, we can ensure that our FACS classroom meets the needs of all students, providing them with the tools and environment necessary to thrive in their education. #SecureAndSoar 🚀 #InvestInEducation 📚 Read more about the bond here~ https://www.usd394.com/page/secureandsoar

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? Currently, our district has no dedicated tornado shelters, only designated safe spaces within our schools. But living in tornado alley, we know how unpredictable severe weather can be. The bond will fund the construction of FEMA-certified storm shelters at each school in our district, providing safe havens during severe weather. But these shelters won’t just be for emergencies—they’re designed to serve as valuable, multifunctional spaces for daily use, maximizing their impact across our schools! 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚎 𝚂𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝙴𝚗𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙾𝚞𝚛 𝚂𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚜 𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚛-𝚁𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍: 1. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆/𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 – These shelters will double as classrooms and flexible learning spaces, giving our youngest learners more room for creative activities, group work, and hands-on projects. 2. 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 – At the middle school, the shelter will provide a much-needed flexible space for large gatherings, science and STEM projects, and activities that require extra room to learn and grow. 3. 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 – At the high school, the shelter will provide an expanded weight room and wrestling area, supporting our growing athletics program and offering improved facilities for fitness and training. Plus, it will also expand our band room, giving our talented musicians the space they need to practice and perform. These FEMA shelters are more than just a safety measure—they’re a daily benefit to our students, staff, and school programs. By investing in these versatile spaces, we’re preparing for the unexpected while enhancing the learning environment across our district. A YES vote on November 5th for the Secure & Soar Bond means safer, smarter spaces for our kids every day. Let’s create a secure and thriving future for Rose Hill students, both in the classroom and beyond! 🌪️ #SecureAndSoar #SafetyFirst Read more about the bond here~ https://www.usd394.com/page/secureandsoar

The Secure & Soar bond will provide flex space at RHMS for large student gatherings, giving us more room for educational and extracurricular activities. 📚
Currently, our multi-purpose room and gym serves multiple functions: it's where students eat lunch, participate in physical education, engage in STEM and science projects, and more! This multi-purpose use has consistently lead to overcrowding and limits our ability to create effective learning environments.
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
📚 Enhanced Learning Opportunities: A dedicated flex space allows for specialized activities, hands-on learning, and collaborative projects without interruptions from other programs. This flexibility promotes creativity and deeper understanding in subjects like science, technology, engineering, and math.
📚 Support for Extracurricular Activities: With more room, we can accommodate a wider range of clubs, sports practices, and community events. This is essential for fostering teamwork, leadership skills, and community involvement among our students.
📚 Adapting to Student Needs: As our student population grows, so do their needs. A flexible space can easily be reconfigured for different activities, whether it's a science fair, theater practice, a community meeting, and so much more, ensuring that we can respond to evolving educational demands.
📚 Improved Well-being: By providing adequate space for lunch and physical activities, we enhance students' overall well-being, contributing to better focus and engagement in their learning.
📚 Investing in this flex space is not just about physical room; it’s about creating an environment where our students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We want kids excited to come to school. Having a dedicated flex space can significantly enhance students' excitement about going to school!

The Safe & Secure Bond will fund safe and secure entrances for all Rose Hill schools, improving the safety of our students, staff, and visitors.
Safety is our top priority, and having secure entrances is a fundamental step in ensuring that our schools are safe havens for learning. Here are a few reasons why investing in secure entrances is essential:
🔒 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Safe entrances allow for better control of who enters and exits the building. By implementing a single point of entry, we can monitor all visitors, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the school grounds.
🔒 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: In the event of an emergency, having secure entrances can facilitate quicker responses. Clearly defined entry points can help first responders quickly assess the situation and access the building when needed.
🔒 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀: Parents want to know that their children are safe while at school. By upgrading to secure entrances, we can reassure families that we are taking every precaution to protect their children.
🔒 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: A secure entrance allows for effective visitor management protocols, including sign-in procedures and visitor badges. This ensures that all visitors are accounted for and can be easily identified.
🔒 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: When students feel safe, they can focus on learning without fear or distraction. A secure school environment fosters a positive atmosphere where students can thrive academically and socially, knowing they are protected.
By voting YES on November 5th for the Secure & Soar Bond, we are making a commitment to the safety and well-being of our entire school community. Together, we can create a secure environment where learning flourishes, and every student feels safe and supported.

The current playground surfaces at Rose Hill Primary and Intermediate Schools, made from black tire mulch, are not only messy but also raise safety concerns. Over time, this material can break down, creating hazards like sharp edges or loose, scattered pieces that can lead to trips and falls. Additionally, tire mulch retains heat, making it uncomfortably hot for children to play on during warmer months, further limiting safe use of the playgrounds.
If the bond passes on November 5th, we will replace these outdated surfaces with modern, safer, and more accessible playground materials. Safer surfaces now are designed to cushion falls and reduce the risk of injury, offering a more reliable and clean environment for kids to play. These new surfaces will also be ADA-compliant, ensuring that all children, including those with mobility challenges, can enjoy the playgrounds equally.
Upgrading our playgrounds will provide a safer, more inclusive play environment, promoting physical activity and social interaction while giving parents peace of mind. Investing in our playgrounds is an investment in the well-being of all our children, grandchildren, neighbors, and our smallest community members.
