RASA: Rochester Arts and Sciences Academy

Yesterday, we welcomed back members of the Class of 2026 who attended RASA in 5th grade for a special senior walk-through! Our current students lined the halls to cheer them on with high fives as they made their way through the building. It was so much fun to see how much they’ve grown and to hear about their exciting plans for the future. We are proud of all they have accomplished and wish them the very best in their next chapter! 🎓✨

✨ Introducing the Library Cozy Corner! ✨

As part of their Exhibition project, two students created a special space in our library where students can take a quiet moment to relax, reset, and recharge before returning to learning.

We are so proud of the thought, creativity, and hard work they put into creating this welcoming space for others to enjoy! 📚💛

Track & Field Day may have been a warm one, but that didn’t slow our students down! ☀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

One of our favorite yearly traditions was filled with smiles, laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of fun. From 40-yard dashes and sponge relays to gunny sack races and everything in between, our students gave it their all and had a blast doing it.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day a success. It was wonderful to see students encouraging one another, staying active, and making memories that will last long after the finish line. Fun was truly had by all! 🏅💙💛

Our middle school students have been getting creative while learning the art of wood burning! 🔥🪵

Students started by practicing their skills on custom wood-burned keychains before moving on to designing their own keepsake boxes. They carefully created and burned unique designs into the wood, then completed their projects by staining the boxes to bring their creations to life. Finally, they built bird houses where they could choose to paint, wood burn or stain their final projects.

Our 7th graders took science class outdoors today for a hands-on field observation experience! 🌿🔍 Students explored the fields beside the school, practicing their observation and scientific drawing skills. They identified, described, and sketched 3 different plants while also observing 3 different animals in their natural habitats.

It was a great opportunity to slow down, look closely at the world around them, and experience science beyond the classroom walls! 🐞🌱✏️

Our preschoolers had some very special visitors today — Ms. Krystal and her adorable baby goat, Nibbles! 🐐💛

Students had so much fun learning all about goats and how to care for them. They discovered that goats eat hay and corn, and that baby goats drink milk from a bottle. They also learned that some goats produce milk and that goats like to sleep on cozy straw bedding.

Thank you, Ms. Krystal, for bringing Nibbles in for such a fun and hands-on learning experience! 😊
