Rickover Junior High School recently took part in Suicide Prevention Month with a powerful initiative. Students actively engaged in promoting positivity and mental health awareness by sharing uplifting words and messages on sticky notes. These notes were then posted throughout the school building, fostering an environment of encouragement, support, and wellbeing among the student body.
I wanted to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Bloom Township District 206 for inviting Rickover Junior High School to participate in Manufacturers' Day 2023. Our students had an incredible time, especially during the visit to Amazon.
We are thrilled to announce that our dedicated athletes have earned the prestigious 2023 Sportsmanship Award. Congratulations to each and every one of our students who exemplify the true spirit of sportsmanship on and off the field. Your commitment, teamwork, and respect for your fellow competitors truly make us proud.
This is just a reminder that those students who are due for a physical and/or vaccinations for this 2023-2024 school year must meet these requirements. All students entering kindergarten and sixth grade are required to have a current physical. Sixth grade students are required to have proof of one dose of the meningitis vaccine and t-dap vaccine.

Also a large thank you to Mayor Burgess and Dr. Donna Leak for their attendance today as well.
