Hour of Code

Rice Creek Elementary has signed up to participate in the Hour of Code next week, December 7-11. This is a global movement to introduce students to computer science engineering with an emphasis on how to write basic computer code. Students in grades CD-2 will partner with students in grades 3-5 to collaborate on writing blockly style computer code to make a "video game" work.

Please encourage your child(ren) to practice coding at home as it promotes critical thinking skills as well.

For more information on this global event, please visit the website at https://hourofcode.com.

Thank you for your support.

Student Council Community Service

The RCE Student Council has decided to adopt some families in need this holiday season.  They ask each child in grades k-5 to bring in only $1.  If everyone brings in just $1, then we'll have over $600 and can help as many as 6 families.
