“All rise for the Honorable Donna Congeni Fitzsimmons.” So began the Rocky River Court session on Tuesday morning, May 21. Just an hour earlier, the Honorable Brian F. Hagan had presided. While the cases were typical of a day in court, the location was not: on this Tuesday morning, court was in session in the Rocky River Middle School Commons.

Pirates Parents Campaign
The Rocky River Education Foundation is once again conducting its Pirates Parents Campaign. We are asking each family with a child in the District, to donate $20 (or whatever amount fits your budget) to the Campaign by June 15th. Every dollar of your tax-deductible contribution will fund grants which will directly benefit our students beginning this fall. Thanks in part to your support of last year’s campaign, the Foundation was able to fund just under $35,000 in grants during this current school year.

AFS Host Families Needed
We are looking for host families for exchange students for the 2013-14 school year. There are many students to choose from and they are all highly recommended from their host countries. These students arrive in mid-August and will be here through the academic year, returning in June. Rocky River has a long-standing tradition of being a welcoming community to these students and we'd like to place 1-2 students at our high school this upcoming year. Interested families may contact Andrea Reynolds at reynolds.andrea@rrcs.org or Nancy Goette at nagoette@yahoo.com.
