Republic School District #309

The students at RHS enjoyed the week of St. Patrick's Day with many fun events! The first event was a 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament hosted by the STACC Club (Students Taking Action for Community Change). The team called Sum of 4, won the category for "Best Dressed". They also were crowned tournament champions! National Honor Society, led by advisor Holly Campbell, spent the week hiding a leprechaun everyday for RHS students to find. The daily winner was given a gift bag filled with goodies. NHS members also placed a hand written note on every students' locker at RHS! Way to go STACC and NHS for being positive leaders in our school!

Kindergarten Round-up Coming Soon!

Last Saturday, the Republic Schools Archery Club attended the National Archery in the Schools Program state competition in Deer Park. All the of the archers performed at a high level and were excellent representatives for our community. Congratulations to Trey Cromwell who shot a 276/300 which placed him 7th in the entire state for high school boys and qualifies him to compete at Nationals in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Recently, Mrs. Torweski’s Kindergarten class visited Anderson’s Grocery, the Republic Library, 18 North Kitchen, and The Outfitters to meet the local business owners and learn about each of their different stores. Next, Mrs. Campbell’s class toured the Republic Post Office. Postmaster Artie McRae gave the 1st graders a behind the scenes look at how the mail is sorted and delivered to all the residents of Republic. After the Post Office tour, the 1st graders walked to the Republic Volunteer Fire Department hall where local firefighters allowed students to sit in the driver’s seat of a real fire engine and taught important fire prevention information. The ROAR adventure trips would not be possible without the support of community members like these who donated their personal time for our elementary students.
