What a treat for our JM music students to enjoy the Havana String Quartet, here from Cuba on a grant from the Minnesota Arts Council. They were a captive audience.




Our value of ensuring excellence through evidence means we use data and proven practices to help our students grow. To date, 90% of RPS 8th graders have used Xello to discover careers connected to their personal interests. By using these tools, we are investing in our community’s future and preparing the next generation of thinkers and doers. Discover more about how our students use the Xello tool at www.rochesterschools.org/xello.

Congratulations to JM Radio Club President, Lugman Khamis, on passing his FCC Amateur Radio Technician License test last night!
He demonstrated knowledge on radio safety, skills, electronics, antennas and protocols.
In recognition of his achievement, the Rochester Amateur Radio Club members presented him with a new UHF/VHF radio.
Two radios were donated to the JM Rocket Radio club to be presented to the first two students getting their Technician license.
I can't wait to hear his new FCC call sign on the air! (Advisor, Melissa Erickson)
