A Virtual Tour of Our RICA

Congratulations to the 9th graders

Congratulations to 9 of our 9th graders who earned a day trip to Greenbrier Park! Students needed to being passing all of their classes and meet behavioral criteria in order to go on the June 4th trip. It rained from the beginning of the day to the end, but this did not deter several students from swimming in the lake. No one complained and all had a great time. The park is located in Boonsboro, Maryland. The mountains were beautiful and it really felt like we had gone away for the day.   6/8/09

RICA STUDENTS CELEBRATE “EARTH DAY”

On Wednesday, April 29th, 2009, a group of 95 students and staff observed Earth Day (a little late) by taking a trip to the movies. It was quite an undertaking: four vans and several cars shuttled groups of movie-goers from RICA to Rio and back again. The feature film was “Earth,” a G-rated Disney documentary with breathtaking photography. Viewers were able to follow several groups of animals during the year in their natural habitats, coping with the effects of global warming. There were scenes that made us laugh and scenes that were a sobering reminder of what may be happening to our planet. Thanks to the donor whose generous gift allowed us to pay everyone’s admission fee. Students and adults truly appreciated the film, the break from studies and the opportunity to spend time at the theatre together.   5/8/09
