Honorable Paula Wright Visits RCSA

March 18, 2013 River City Science Academy welcomed another wonderful guest, member of the school board, the Honorable Paula Wright. She toured our school and talked with us about what is going on within the school board now.  Before she got a glimpse of our high school, we caught an interview with her where we got the chance to find out more about her. She answered questions like what she feels is the most impactful part of her job, what her thoughts are on education overall, and several more. She spoke about how dealing with education was just always something she did and she feels that now, with her position on the school board; she can ensure that children are getting their education. Mrs. Wright says that reading is a fundamental tool in education and that reading is your gateway to fulfilling your dreams which is why it is so important. RCSA couldn’t agree more! It was great having her visit and we hope she enjoyed her time here, at the home of the Rockets. Thank you Paula Wright!

A Visit From Dr. Connie Hall

River City Science Academy welcomed another guest today; School board member, Dr. Constance S. Hall. She has always been involved in the education system from her position as a teacher, to a principal and even district administrator.  Receiving a Bachelor’s, Master’s and PHD, Dr. Hall values education and enjoyed getting a look at how we use those skills here at RCSA. After touring the school, she joined Rocketfuel for a quick interview where we found out more! We asked her if her past experience dealing with education has helped her with what she does today and she responded quickly by proclaiming the significance in knowing what goes on in school and what is needed  in order to provide children with appropriate skills. This led us to our next question on what she feels is the most important part about education; simple: reading and comprehension. She discussed the importance of reading in our lives and how the more you read the more you know, the more places you can go, and the more your mind can explore. Before our enclosing, she gave a few words of inspiration for our watchers encouraging everyone to READ, READ, READ! On behalf of RCSA, we would like to thank Dr. Connie Hall for joining us and spending some time to talk to us.

RCSA Welcome's Senator Aaron Bean

     Thursday, February 28, 2013 was an exciting day for RCSA as we were visited by a member of the Florida Senate, Senator Aaron Bean. He was greeted with warm welcomes on a chilly day before he spoke at an assembly for select 6^th and 7^th graders. The students were intrigued and asked several questions as he tried to answer every one. He spoke of a few of his current positions and achievements such as being a Commissioner and Mayor of Fernandina Beach as well as a member of the Florida House of Representatives for 8 years all before being elected Senator. Afterwards, he of course got a tour of our school and joined Rocketfuel for an interview. We asked him about what it is like being a Senator and he replied with positive remarks because as he had said, he loves his job.  We asked about his experience meeting Bill Clinton and then of course what he thought of our school. River City Science Academy once again got great reviews from another visitor. Thank you Senator Aaron Bean!
