Lion's Lore

Hello RLT!

The R.L. Turner Coaching Staff and Fine Arts Directors are contributing greatly in the success of our Freshmen Initiative. The data shows that 62% of ninth graders decide at semester if they will complete the high school journey or drop out. After researching a few strategies with other districts, we created the REEL Team.

The REEL team is a coaching effort to make a mentoring relationship with struggling freshmen. Our purpose is to provide additional support to ensure these students do not fall through the cracks. Students were selected based on their first semester performance. Once again, RLT is a leader in innovative approaches for connecting with kids and taking it to the next level. Kudos to the coaches and fine arts directors!

As the veterans know, the final stretch is packed with activities that will keep us extremely busy. We would like to share a timeline of upcoming events. Should be exciting! S:\Upcoming Events

Innovation

Mr. Toulmin has discovered a cool site that he is implementing for the journalism program. According to Mr. Toulmin, it's a free service offered by Google. You just have to invest a little time in it. Here is the link: http://sites.google.com/site/turnerjournalism/.

Thanks for all you do,

Lance
