Breaking News!! Stacy Spanos visits RCSA

     Yesterday, February 25, 2013, Stacy Spanos, morning anchor for Channel 4, our local news station, visited River City Science Academy with a smile on her face, despite the rainy weather. It was great having her come and talk to some of our 6^th graders as she related to them and made them laugh. She spoke to them about the importance of being the best you that you can be as well as a few of her stories from working with the news business. She too, toured the school and visited a few of our classrooms including the science labs where she even had to sign a couple autographs. Before she left, Rocketfuel got an interview with her where she was asked about the most challenging part of her job, which she thought might have to be waking up at 3a.m. for work; then, of course what she thought of our school along with a few words of motivation for our viewers. RCSA has once again been complemented as being a great school, so way to go! On behalf of River City Science Academy, we thank Stacy Spanos for visiting our school and helping us add another piece to our growing timeline; we were so very pleased to welcome her to our school. 

The President of Jacksonville's Public Education Fund

     Today, February 20, 2013, has marked another exciting day for River City Science Academy to remember thanks to our visit from the first President of Jacksonville’s Public Education Fund, Trey Csar. He spoke to several of our younger students who were enthusiastic to participate as many hands were raised to ask questions that he responded to efficiently while keeping their young minds interested. He really Following the assembly, Mr. Csar toured the elementary school and was able to experience a little bit of RCSA, of which he says is a great school and that he enjoyed getting the opportunity to experience what it’s all about . Rocketfuel news even got in a quick interview with him afterwards where we learned more about what he does and how the public education fund really works on making sure the people within the education system are paid and treated correctly. Some of the questions asked included how his past experience as a teacher assists him in his current career which he answered with that it really gave him a deeper perspective because he does know what it is like teaching so he knows what is needed, wanted, and the most important; when asked what is most important about school and where most of the funding goes to, he told us that it’s the people who do the most because they are teaching the minds of tomorrow so it is also important to regulate the people that are a part of this system, this includes funding. We thank Trey Csar for checking out our school and giving us the chance to make more history. We are also glad he enjoyed it and gave positive reviews. Way to go RCSA!
