River Oaks Baptist School

Picked by the claw and powered by courage! Our 4th graders brought the secret life of arcade toys to the stage in The Claw, a musical that sparked nostalgia for classic arcade games while sharing meaningful reminders to trust God through the unknown. 🕹️🎭

As their final Lower School musical performance, our students certainly went out with a prize-worthy show!

The Sanctuary is alive with the sound of music! 🎼

Over the past few days, our MS musicians have shared beautiful performances with the ROBS community during their Spring Concerts—the final performances of the 2025-26 school year and a special final bow for our 8th graders.

From first notes to final crescendos, these concerts reflected not only musical talent, but the discipline and dedication our students have developed throughout the year. Bravo to our students and directors for an outstanding celebration of the arts at ROBS!

2nd graders proved that even rainy skies could not dampen a celebration of learning and literacy! 📚🦜

Despite Friday’s rainy forecast moving the celebration indoors, our young authors spread their wings at the Publisher’s Picnic, proudly sharing their research-based bird books with family and friends.

From careful observation to published presentation, these students showcased the academic growth, creativity, and confidence that make learning take flight at ROBS!

Today, our first graders served up some exceptional work at the Reading Restaurant! 🧑‍🍳📖

Through self-authored, illustrated books, students demonstrated their growth as readers and writers over the past few months. Reading Restaurant is an academic showcase that’s truly *chef’s kiss* for all who attended!

Do you want to build a musical? Our MS students already did! ❄️🎭

Frozen Jr. comes to life through the incredible work of our 7th and 8th graders, with students leading everything from choreography to lighting and sound. From Arendelle to the Blue Box stage, every detail reflects their creativity, teamwork, and dedication.

Join us tonight at 6:00 p.m. in the Blue Box Theatre for a special performance for ROBS families. The cold never bothered us anyway.

Today’s Celebration of Service was a meaningful time to honor the faculty and staff who have faithfully served ROBS with dedication and care. ❤️

Through song, scripture, and reflection, we recognized the lasting impact each individual has made in the life of our school. We also celebrated the recipients of the Carrabba Faculty Grant and the 8th Grade Faculty Grant, who will engage with educators around the world and return with new insights and tools to enrich their classrooms.

In addition, we offered a heartfelt farewell to Marguerite McHard and Dr. Mary Furman, celebrating their years of service and the legacy they leave behind in our community.

With grateful hearts, we thank God for leading each of you to ROBS. Your commitment to service, education, and the lives of our students is a lasting gift that will continue to shape our school for years to come!

Welcoming home the ROBS Class of 2022! 🎓❤️

At last night’s Alumni Reception, Raiders returned to campus to receive their 8th grade time capsules— surrounded by the community that first helped shape who they are today. From navigating COVID-19 to stepping into the next chapter, this class has shown resilience, character, and faith.

As you move forward, carry with you the friendships and values that began at ROBS. They will guide you wherever you go.

We are so proud of you and always cheering you on. Once a Raider, always a Raider!

Raider spirit is unmatched. 📣❤️💙

This afternoon, we closed out the spring athletic season loud and proud at the final Spirit Rally of the 2025-26 school year. Congratulations to 4th grade for winning the Spirit Stick! Go Raiders!

Leading through service! On Tuesday, our 8th graders stepped into action at Houston Food Bank (). 🍏📦

Together they packed 7 pallets of cereal totaling 8,960 pounds (560 boxes, 4,480 bags) to help provide 7,466 meals for our community. An impactful example of how ROBS students put leadership, compassion, and purpose into practice!

A final round of snaps for our 4th graders following an outstanding Writer’s Bistro! 📝🫰🎙️

What began as Poetry Café has grown into a full showcase of each students development as a writer—from poetry to research-based pieces—all culminating in a thoughtfully curated portfolio. Dressed in their best for this Parisian-inspired experience, students stepped up to the mic to share selected works with peers, families, and faculty.

From refining their voice on paper to confidently presenting aloud, Writer’s Bistro is a final showcase of how our 4th graders have been equipped by their Lower School teachers to step confidently into Middle School!

Wrapping up a year of chapel performances that bring the stories of the Bible to life with the Zook/Schadel Prek presentation of Noah and the Ark. 🌊🕊️🌈

Special thanks to PS Music and Art Teacher Rachel Meiss, Motor Skills Teacher Marie Michel, and Bible Teacher Dometria Hall for faithfully guiding our students through Scripture. Through their leadership, our little learners are building a strong foundation—growing in confidence and understanding as they prepare for Kindergarten and continue exploring these stories in Lower School Bible and chapel next year!
